Our Suppliers

AGL's response to the COVID-19 pandemic

Dear Valued Suppliers,

As the impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19)increases, we want to reassure you that we’re working hard to do everything we can to be prepared. The nature of our business means that we plan for unexpected events to ensure we can fulfil our responsibility as an essential service provider.

We’re prioritising the health and wellbeing of our people and our Suppliers’ people, and although it is evolving as the situation evolves, we would like to share our COVID-19 response with you.

• We now have office based people working from home with only people critical to our operations continuing to work at AGL offices and sites, and we have closed our offices to the public with no visitor access;
• We have enacted policies in line with government and public health guidelines, including rules relating to social distancing, large gatherings; and travel restrictions have been put in place until further notice; and
• We’re also offering support for small business suppliers with our commitment to:

• Pay small businesses within 14 days to lend support as the economy is hit by the impacts of the COVID-19;
• Consider alternative products and arrangements as a result of issues with delivery and service arrangements; and
• Where contracts are expiring soon, we will consider continued arrangements to assist through this time.

To ensure the continued safety of our people and our Suppliers, we require that all people visiting AGL sites are healthy. People who are not feeling well, have a fever or a slight cough are not to come to site and should remain home under the current self-isolation guidelines issued by government and public health bodies. We seek your support to ensure that your people only visit AGL sites if it is absolutely required and follow our requirements on health and wellbeing.

Objectives

Everything we do complies with the highest standards of compliance and ethics, always respecting our code of conduct.

• We expect our Suppliers to comply with these standards always respecting our Supplier Code of Conduct.
• We strive to build sustainable and added-value relationships with our Suppliers.
• We believe in the power of our supply base as a way to unlock growth that benefits both parties.
• We continue to drive quality improvements for what we procure.
• We support our actions with strong policies, standards, processes, and behaviours.

For more information please review the AGL Supplier Code of Conduct.

AGL has partnered with SAP Fieldglass^®, SAP Ariba^® and SAP S/4HANA^® to fulfill our vision of moving away from paper and manually transmitted documents. These enhancements will enable us to ‘Source faster, buy easier and pay right’ using standardised processes and platforms.

For our systems to work smoothly and to ensure Suppliers get paid on time AGL has implemented a ‘No PO / No Pay’ policy. Suppliers who do not quote the relevant PO number on their invoice may have the invoice returned delaying payment.
