We treat suppliers fairly

Our collaborative association with suppliers is based on mutual trust, fairness and pride in contributing to excellence in patient care.

We are honest and open when we interact with suppliers. We support competitive business practices and make decisions objectively without regard to personal or financial gain or personal relationships.

Making a difference

My department is getting ready to select a supplier for some equipment that AbbVie will need to purchase on a regular basis. I tell a prospective vendor that our policy requires three bids. She promises that her company will offer us the lowest price so there is no need to request other bids. I inform her that she must follow our bid process.

This is our way

All AbbVie suppliers must abide by our Supplier Code of Conduct and the law. If you observe or suspect supplier misconduct, take responsibility by reporting it to AbbVie Purchasing and Supplier Management or to the AbbVie Office of Ethics and Compliance, either directly or via the Global Helpline Portal.
