Our approach to Supply & Procurement

Group Supply Chain (GSC) Management is essential to the success of ANDRITZ and its partners. GSC manages around EUR 3.8-4 billion in annual sourcing across more than 80 countries and connects suppliers, procurement, sales, projects, logistics and customers. By simplifying supplier selection, conducting strategic negotiations, increasing local sourcing and strengthening supplier transparency, GSC supports shorter lead times, cost efficiency and more resilient supply chains. The overall goal is clear: deliver the right products and services, with the required quality, on time and at the right cost, while balancing global reach with local sourcing strength.

Early involvement in the sales phase and close cooperation with project teams help ANDRITZ support complex international projects from the beginning. Proactive supplier-market monitoring enables risks and opportunities to be identified earlier, while division procurement, strategic category and supplier management, global logistics, export control and customs expertise ensure that sourcing decisions are commercially sound, compliant and execution-oriented. Standardized processes and digital tools streamline procurement operations and are supported by analytics, process mining, supplier data management and shared-service-center capabilities. Ongoing training and capability development further strengthen GSC’s role as a facilitating function across ANDRITZ.

Stakeholder value

Responsible procurement creates value beyond the purchasing transaction. It strengthens project execution, supports supply reliability and contributes to ANDRITZ’s sustainability and compliance expectations.

Stakeholder	Value created
Suppliers	Long-term partnerships, access to global business opportunities, clear expectations, and structured collaboration.
Customers	Reliable project delivery through resilient sourcing, transparent supplier data and early risk visibility.
Society	Responsible sourcing, supplier compliance and stronger alignment with ESG requirements.
Projects	Cost efficiency, quality, delivery reliability and reduced single-source dependency.

The foundations for responsible procurement and ESG

Sustainability and compliance are crucial factors in supplier selection and supplier management at ANDRITZ. Responsible procurement is integrated into the supply chain strategy, and suppliers are expected to follow the ANDRITZ Supplier Code of Conduct and Ethics. The Code forms part of the supplier relationship and sets minimum requirements for conducting business with ANDRITZ. It is aligned with internationally recognized frameworks and expectations, including human rights, fair working conditions, health and safety, environmental responsibility, business integrity and export control.

Suppliers are expected to uphold human rights, ensure safe and legally compliant workplaces, prevent corruption and bribery, follow applicable environmental laws, manage their environmental and social impacts, and maintain appropriate compliance procedures. In supplier onboarding and ongoing supplier management, compliance and sustainability questionnaires, supplier data and supporting evidence help create a transparent and structured basis for evaluation.

Supplier ESG and compliance facts

ANDRITZ is also preparing for a broader regulatory landscape in which supply chain functions contribute to the implementation of requirements such as CSRD, CBAM, the EU Deforestation Regulation, REACH and other environmental, compliance and due-diligence-related regulations. This makes reliable supplier data, ESG transparency and audit-ready reporting increasingly important.
