Suppliers
Our continual need for better performance stimulates innovation and creativity at all levels within Lhoist. We expect the same commitment from our suppliers. Fresh and creative ideas not only grow our relationship, but also offer mutual benefits and help drive us all toward excellence.
As we consider all our suppliers as of strategic significance to the success of our group strategy, it is crucial key that our suppliers uphold the same standards at every level of the value chain. We strive to make a positive difference to people’s lives and to the planet at large together, while securing our long-term prosperity.
Suppliers Code of Conduct
Build on our core values, our Supplier Code of Conduct seeks compliance with international convention standards (International Labor Organization, UN’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights, etc.) and with applicable national and local laws and regulations. We therefore expect all our suppliers, their own employees, agents and sub-tier suppliers to adhere ‘a minima’ to the same standards.
Coupa Supplier Portal
Lhoist has started a procurement digital transformation journey to improve the way we buy and collaborate with our suppliers. From April 2024, Coupa Procurement platform will be deployed at Group level for indirect purchasing and we encourage all our partners to onboard with us by registering on the Coupa Supplier Portal.
The Coupa Supplier Portal (CSP) is a free tool for suppliers to easily do business with Lhoist, including viewing and acknowledge purchase orders, setting up delivery methods, creating catalogs, sending advance ship notices (ASNs), checking the status of transactions, and more.
Note that Invoicing process is not affected by Coupa implementation. Therefore, please continue invoicing Lhoist as today. You can review our invoicing requirement here. Invoicing instructions are also included in our Purchase Orders.
