Suppliers and contractors

Working with us

Conducting business in a sustainable way is the basis for long-term relationships with customers, employees, partners, governments, neighbors, suppliers and investors and is at the core of Vopak’s processes and operations.

Vopak therefore only works with contractors and suppliers who respect and contribute to the development of this foundation.

Our expectations

Vopak’s mission is to provide safe, efficient, and clean storage and handling services. We store and handle oil, gases, chemicals, biofuels, and edible oils.

These products are crucial to people's lives, yet can endanger their health and the environment if stored or handled inappropriately. This comes with a huge responsibility.

To meet that responsibility, we believe that care for safety, health, and the environment needs to be at the core of our decisions and operations. We have established policies, processes, and systems around the following main themes.

We expect our contractors and suppliers to comply with all applicable laws and regulations as a minimum and adopt best practices whenever possible, in particular in the following areas:

• Health and Safety – Provide a healthy, safe and secure workplace

• Environmental Care – Be energy and water efficient and reduce emissions and waste

• Responsible Partner – Be a responsible partner for all stakeholders, in particular for the communities in which we operate

• Excellent People – Have the best people and create an agile and solution driven culture

Supplier code

In line with our sustainability principles and Vopak’s Code of Conduct, this Supplier Code defines the minimum standards that we require from our suppliers, contractors and their sub-tier suppliers and contractors, to adhere to and to continuously improve when doing business with Vopak.
