Supplier management is important to BAE Systems Hägglunds because we depend on our suppliers to help us to deliver the products, systems and services that our customers need, on time and to the quality they expect. Poor performance or unethical conduct by a supplier could affect our reputation or even our ability to operate effectively.

Sustainable Procurement

We want all our suppliers to reduce the environmental impact of the products and services they supply to us, which in return helps us to reduce our own environmental footprint and that of our products.

Supplier Standards

You, as a supplier to BAE System Hägglunds, play an integral role and are expected to conduct your business in accordance with export control laws, regulations and authorizations, worldwide.

Selecting and Managing Suppliers

When selecting suppliers our due diligence process includes desktop research, supplier questionnaires and, in some cases site visits to assess and ensure standards are consistent with our expectations.
 
All suppliers are encouraged to comply with our Code of Conduct or equivalent standards, but for major sub-contractors our due diligence process is more extensive.

Trusted – deliver the right quality at the right time at the right place
