About this Document

This Supplier Relationship Management Charter (the Charter) provides the guidelines for COMPANY and supplier behaviours to be applied when managing Tier 1 and strategic Tier 2 supplier relationships within an organisation. 

The success of a relationship is determined by the behaviours of the parties and as such this Charter shall be agreed between the parties following the supplier classification process, prior to kicking off the SRM meetings at the various levels of the COMPANY and supplier organisations. 

The charter needs to be set and signed by the most senior level of representation from both organisations with the support of the SRM Lead.

The charter shall be referred to in the event of disputes between the parties, or when evidence of behaviour misaligned with the charter presents itself.

It is essential to implement this Charter for all Tier 1 and strategic Tier 2 supplier relationships and ensure it is readily available to your internal organisation.  For more information and recommendations on implementing the Charter, you can contact Promitheia to arrange a one-on-one virtual meeting.
