Responsible procurement

Supplier Code of Conduct

Prior to doing business with Powerlink, suppliers will be evaluated against a broad range of criteria and selected based on their ability to deliver value for money (including meeting our ethical, environmental and social expectations) in addition to how they meet the required specifications of the goods or services.

Suppliers are encouraged to go beyond legislative compliance by taking responsibility for the ethical, social and environmental conditions within their business and their own supply chain. 

Powerlink's Supplier Code of Conduct outlines the expectations that Powerlink has from its suppliers. Suppliers should review the Code of Conduct to ensure agreement with the principles addressed, and proactively take action to remedy potential shortcomings.

First Nations procurement

Powerlink is committed to promoting reconciliation and building stronger relationships with First Nations communities as detailed in the Powerlink Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan.

Modern slavery

Powerlink wants to work with suppliers who act ethically and responsibly to take reasonable steps to ensure that their business and supply chain is not benefiting from, engaged in or complicit with, human rights exploitation such as forced or child labour, coercion, or any form of modern slavery practice. 

This is reinforced in the Powerlink Supplier Code of Conduct, which expects that our suppliers comply with the purpose and intent of the Commonwealth Modern Slavery Act 2018.
