Advantus Health Partners offers an opportunity for suppliers to join a unique, collaborative supply chain model. We award supplier contracts that fit our customers’ needs and encourage participation of all vendors that meet or exceed our performance standards.
Here at Advantus, our supply chain philosophy is different. We don’t believe that more is necessarily better. A wide array of products and suppliers to satisfy a broad market base traditionally leads to waste and higher costs.
Instead, we seek a narrower supplier base with best-in-class pricing. We use unique contract language that solidifies long-term sustained value for both suppliers and customers. Our method relies on perpetual optimization rather than periodic “resets.”
We build resilient supplier relationships through mutually beneficial collaboration. Our partners support our sound sourcing strategy and commitment to optimized pricing. Our model delivers sustainable value across the supply chain through standardization, transparency, contract compliance and narrow supplier awards.
Advantus Health Partners welcomes suppliers of all sizes. Whether you offer a single specialty product or an extensive inventory, you’re invited to apply to work with us.
Our successful collaborators are flexible, communicative and committed to delivering their best value. They’re proactive, engaged and strategic in planning and vision.
Our suppliers will continue to advance beyond customary supply chain operations with us. We’re committed to evidence-based, dynamic, modern and interdependent processes that track from contract signature to parcel delivery.
Advantus embraces treating individuals with dignity and respecting each person’s unique gifts, talents, and attributes in their contributions to the work force. It is essential that we promote the unity of people coming from a broad range of social, ethnic, and demographic backgrounds, including disabilities, races, national origins, ages, religious preferences, genders, and sexual orientations in our work force and we encourage our suppliers to do the same.
Advantus will not tolerate human trafficking, forced labor, and child labor anywhere in its supply chain. Advantus will aggressively monitor its supplier population and will immediately terminate any supplier relationships where evidence of human trafficking, forced labor, and child labor is discovered. Advantus demands that all our Supplier Partners take an equally definitive position on these reprehensible practices through the adoption of policies and practices.
Advantus recognizes that the resources of our earth are finite and that the viability and ultimately survival of mankind requires concerted ongoing environmental stewardship. Toward that end, Advantus takes active measures to use earth resources wisely through recycling, energy conservation, and embracing the application of environmentally friendly resource harvesting, manufacturing, and distribution processes. This commitment must be shared globally, and accordingly, Advantus gives preference to Suppliers Partners who have substantive measurable programs for environmental stewardship.
