Be Our Partner

Be Our Partner

At SD Guthrie, we partner with a diverse network of various vendors, including Service Providers, Suppliers, Contractors, and Consultants. 

Our goal is to establish long-term, mutually beneficial relationships with our vendors by collaborating towards a common objective: value creation and operational excellence. We uphold our core values and principles in every aspect of our business operations, ensuring integrity, quality, and sustainability in all collaborations.

Procurement Governance Structure

Procurement Governance

Strong procurement governance and effective vendor management are key to achieving SD Guthrie’s operational excellence. The foundation of strong procurement governance within SD Guthrie is upheld through strict adherence to procurement policies and procedures, supported by dedicated tools and control systems.

 

Procurement Governance Table

Group Procurement

Group Procurement Policies and Authorities (GPPA)

At SD Guthrie, procurement plays a significant role in business operations, underscoring the need to strengthen procurement capabilities to drive performance and efficiency. Group Procurement upholds strong governance across all procurement activities through the GPPA. 

This GPPA incorporates procurement best practices and aligns with SD Guthrie’s corporate objectives. It has six (6) key objectives:

  • Drive value creation and minimise Total Cost of Ownership.
  • Increase procurement process efficiency.
  • Enhance transparency.
  • Enhance organisation capabilities and governance.
  • Improve vendor management, including vendor development.
  • Support national development in the countries we operate.

Vendor Integrity Pledge

The Vendor Integrity Pledge (VIP) and Vendor Code of Business Conduct (VCOBC)

The Vendor Integrity Pledge is a formal affirmation by any vendor who intends to conduct business transaction(s) with SD Guthrie, that the said vendor pledges and undertakes that they have read and understood, and will comply with:

The VCOBC

The VCOBC is attached as an appendix in the VIP, to provide guidance to Vendors on the required standards of behaviour when conducting work for the Group. The standards of behaviour are derived from the Group's Core Value and Business Principles.

The VCOBC outlines the standards of behaviour required from each Vendor relating to:

  • Labour and Human Rights
  • Environment, Safety and Health
  • Ethics and Management Practices
  • All applicable laws and regulations relating to anti-bribery, fraud and corruption, and related requirements as stated in the VCOBC.

All applicable laws and regulations relating to anti-bribery, fraud and corruption, and related requirements as stated in the VCOBC.

The VIP is one of the Company’s procedures for the prevention of corruption that applies specifically to Vendors. It is a compulsory requirement for Vendors to sign the VIP upon registration to enable them to be selected as a prospective Vendor and subsequently be included in SD Guthrie’s Registered Vendor List (once pre-qualification requirements and procedures have taken place).

Vendor Conflict of Interest (VCOI) Declaration Form

VCOI is a formal declaration form by any vendor who has an actual/potential Conflict of Interest as specified in the document.


 

Vendor Management

Vendor management is a critical component in ensuring compliance with our overall vendor and procurement governance framework. A registration and pre-qualification process is mandatory for vendors to be listed on the Group’s Vendor List, with further evaluations conducted to assess technical capabilities to establish a quality and comprehensive Registered Vendor List. SD Guthrie’s business needs will be better fulfilled by sourcing from vendors listed in the Registered Vendor List, as they have already undergone a rigorous pre-qualification process. Continuous performance assessments will be conducted to ensure that these business needs are consistently fulfilled.

Vendor Registration and Pre-Qualification

  • Vendor is required to register Online.
  • Pre-qualification of vendors will be conducted to accurately capture vendors profiles, their products/services, and qualifications.
  • Vendor must sign the Vendor Integrity Pledge (VIP) as a commitment to adherence to SD Guthrie's VCOBC. 

Tools And Control

Apart from ensuring our operational procurement steps are captured through clear terms and conditions with our vendors, SD Guthrie continues to implement electronic procurement (eProcurement) capabilities to help put our policies and procedures in action. SD Guthrie continues to work closely with our vendors to help ensure that these capabilities are mutually beneficial to our procurement activities.
