Our Approach to Our Suppliers

As Christof Industries works together with a large number of suppliers in different countries, ensuring the supply chain is sustainable is of utmost importance. We work with various types of suppliers, including GOODS (materials, consumables, tools, devices, equipment etc), WORKS (civil, electrical & instrumentation, mechanical installation, painting, insulation etc) and SERVICES (tests, inspections, rentals, transportation etc). The types of suppliers used also depends on the subsidiary and the location. For example, Christof Systems mainly works with suppliers that provide raw materials, electric parts, piping fittings, valves and isolation, standard parts and consumable materials.

Where possible, we work with local suppliers in order to support the local economy and minimise our environmental footprint.

Sustainable procurement practices

We work hard to build long-term business relationships with our partners and suppliers on the basis of mutual respect, trust, and reliability. Together with our suppliers, we work on providing optimal solutions for our customers. We are also committed to sustainability in our relationships with our suppliers. We do not have business relations with suppliers that are known violators of the principles on which the UN Global Compact is based.

The procurement process is handled at our individual entities. Every supplier undergoes a screening process, before Christof Industries decides to purchase from them. The supplier assessment is conducted based on quality-specific and HSE risk categories, procurement-specific risks and a credit rating. The suppliers are then classified based on a calculated score.
