Material Management

Oil and gas are our world: From the first test well to marketing, Wintershall employees worldwide – from Argentina to Russia – are active in various regions in the exploration and production of crude oil and natural gas. 
 
Our business includes the trading and selling of natural gas as well as the marketing of storage capacities for oil and gas. 
 
Materials Management of Wintershall is responsible for the procurement of technical goods and services of Wintershall Holding GmbH as well as their operating companies. In order to ensure optimal procurement we would like to cooperate with competitive suppliers. Environmental, work safety and social standards are important concerns in our supplier relationships.

Wintershall complies with internationally recognized environmental, labor and social standards. Our understanding and implementation of these standards is described in the basic values and principles of the Code of Conduct. 
 
Since we see our suppliers as partners, we also expect them to comply with these values. The Procurement Code of Conduct describes what this means for our cooperation in concrete terms and is composed of the following four main principles:

• Fairness characterizes the nature of our relationships with suppliers. Our decisions are based on objective criteria. 
• We distinguish clearly between personal and business interests, and - as a matter of principle - do not accept any gifts or gratuities from our suppliers. Please note our Procurement Code of Conduct: Download Supplier information - Procurement Code of Conduct.

• Our suppliers comply with our quality management requirements and act in accordance with the Principles of the Global Responsible Care® initiative. Get more information
• The working conditions of our suppliers comply with internationally recognized fundamental labor standards.
