At Ventia, we recognise that procurement decisions have the power to create value beyond the goods and services we purchase.

Through our sustainable procurement approach, we seek to deliver positive social, economic, environmental and ethical outcomes alongside commercial outcomes for our clients, communities and the environment. We work collaboratively with suppliers to build a resilient, responsible and inclusive supply chain that supports long-term business success and sustainable growth.

We are committed to partnering with suppliers that share our values and support our ambition to create lasting value through responsible business practices. By embedding sustainability considerations into procurement and supply chain decision-making, we help strengthen local economies, support supplier capability, create opportunities for diverse businesses, manage ethical and modern slavery risks, and improve environmental outcomes across our operations and supply chain.

• Embedding social, environmental, economic and ethical considerations into procurement and supply chain decision-making;
• supporting diverse, Indigenous, local and social enterprise suppliers to participate in our supply chain;
• working with suppliers to identify opportunities that create social value through employment, training, community participation and supplier growth;
• reducing waste, improving resource efficiency and supporting environmentally sustainable procurement practices throughout the lifecycle of goods and services;
• promoting ethical sourcing, human rights and modern slavery risk management across our supply chain;
• building supplier capability through collaboration, learning and continuous improvement initiatives; and
• encouraging innovation and long-term partnerships that deliver lasting value for clients, communities and the environment.

The Australian Modern Slavery Act 2018 requires entities to report on the risks of modern slavery in their operations and supply chains and have strategies in place to manage these risks.  Find our Modern Slavery Statement here.
