Supplier follow-up

Statkraft's procurement guidelines ensure equal treatment of suppliers and contain clear requirements as regards environment, health and safety. Particularly important and vulnerable deliveries are subject to more rigorous follow-up through several supplier links.

Supplier requirements

Statkraft wants to primarily use suppliers that have been approved in the Scandinavian energy industry's qualification scheme, Sellihca, which includes about 2000 approved suppliers. All suppliers are treated equally, in accordance with the requirements in competition legislation and our own ethical guidelines. Our decentralised operational structure makes it natural to use local suppliers for some deliveries.

Statkraft's suppliers are familiarised with our Code of conduct and ethical guidelines during tender processes and when signing contracts. These define clear requirements and standards as regards environment and health and safety.

Follow-up of suppliers 

Particularly important and vulnerable deliveries are subject to more rigorous follow-up through several supplier links in the form of company visits and unannounced inspections.

A project is underway to further improve the integration of corporate responsibility in all phases of the procurement process. A comprehensive systematic approach will ensure that the correct requirements are applied to Statkraft's suppliers in all phases of the procurement process, from pre-qualification to follow-up and supervision.
