PROCUREMENT
To collaborate with suppliers to enhance the healthcare supply chain.
At Zuellig Pharma, our procurement team is guided by the practice of sustainability. Our operations are focused on partnering with our suppliers to build a healthier future for Asia. We commit ourselves to upholding integrity in our relationships with suppliers and give them recognition for their efforts in sustainability.
In partnering with suppliers, we strive to meet the needs of healthcare professionals and patients, and enhance the reliability, quality, cost effectiveness and sustainability of our healthcare supply chain. Together with our suppliers, we can make healthcare more accessible for all.

We recognise that companies involved in sustainability give others the reason to be confident and trusting of their services. This strengthens working relationships and enables companies to differentiate themselves as an employer and supplier of choice. Our sustainable procurement goal is to have a positive environmental, social and economic impact across our supply chain, as we ensure cost efficiency and security of critical services.
Our priority areas include:
- Upholding the Right Ethical Standards
- Championing Fair Labour Practices
- Caring For the Environment
- Demonstrating Health and Safety
- Showing Transparency Through Reporting and Governance
As our supply chains become more integrated, we can harness this interconnectedness to work together towards sustainable procurement, which requires compliance with relevant sustainability legislation, regulations and standards.
To progress towards being more sustainable, we work with our suppliers to ensure their commitment to the principles of the Zuellig Pharma Supplier Code of Conduct. The Supplier Code of Conduct provides clear guidance about our expectation of sustainability. We recognise that achieving sustainability goals is an ongoing journey and that some suppliers might not be able to fully comply with all our sustainability principles and standards outlined in our Supplier Code of Conduct. Our pragmatic approach to sustainability in procurement involves having a vision of where we need to get to and a clear action plan with our key suppliers on how we can get there together.
We segment our suppliers based on risk levels and apply a robust supplier sustainability assessment to measure supplier compliance to our Supplier Code of Conduct. We request for suppliers to work with us on sustainability initiatives; upskilling them to embark on joint and selective Supplier Sustainability Development Programmes.
