All Straumann Group suppliers of goods, products, equipment and services are in scope as valued partners to contribute to our new digital ways of working and Sustainability targets.
Straumann Group’s approach to Procurement
leveraging synergies across the group
finding solutions for our customers
driving sustainability through our supply chain
digitizing our procurement processes
The Procurement function recently launched two new digital platforms, which will fundamentally change the way we work and communicate with our suppliers:
- A Supplier portal and a Source to Contract (S2C) cloud-based solution, provided by GEP Smart
- A digital platform to collect sustainability data to ensure compliance from all our suppliers, provided by IntegrityNext
These digital platforms include a supplier portal in addition to dedicated modules allowing us to collaborate with suppliers, when performing activities such as supplier relationship management, sourcing and contracting.
We are committed to implementing a sustainable procurement framework, policy and best procurement practices as we continually improve the way we work with our valued suppliers.
