Partners & Suppliers

Our mission Extending Lives >>> Expanding Possibilities carries through our supplier base.

Global Supply Chain Standards: Vantive endorses and strongly supports the GS1 standards for healthcare. We believe that industry-wide adoption of these standards will improve patient safety and drive increased efficiency and integrity.

Trade Compliance: We place a high priority on compliance with laws regulating exports, imports, and supply chain security. Our compliance responsibilities include appropriate screening and contractual and security requirements that agents, distributors, suppliers, and other parties doing business with us must meet. In addition to meeting Vantive’s requirements, the agents, distributors, suppliers, and other parties doing business with or representing Vantive are also expected to comply with the letter and spirit of all applicable laws regulating exports, imports, and supply chain security.

Responsible Procurement & Logistics: Our global supply chain extends from the producers of raw materials utilized in manufacturing to the end users of its products. Our company is committed to building and driving a responsible supply chain.

We consider price, quality, environmental criteria and other factors when selecting and evaluating our suppliers. We do this with the intent to develop sustainable growth plans and build sound partnerships within all areas of our supply chain. If you are interested in doing business with Vantive and believe you have goods or services that will fit our needs, please register through our Registration Portal and create a profile.

We consider several environmental and social factors as we integrate sustainable practices into our procurement. We collaborate with our suppliers to identify opportunities to improve environmental performance and promote human rights throughout our supplier base.

Suppliers are asked to provide the following information via an RFP:

• Their sustainability policy and mission statement;
• A description of company sustainability initiatives and outcomes;
• A list of sustainability-related awards received;
• Disclosure of environmental violations and fines for the past three years;
• Details on purchasing from diverse suppliers, particularly related to products and services in the RFP (as applicable); and
• Information about other initiatives that would support progress against Vantive's sustainability goals.

Our suppliers are encouraged to provide proof of certification. We monitor vendor certifications regularly and value certifications from one of the following organizations, although local/state certifications are also acceptable.

We expect all our suppliers to notify us prior to making any changes that may affect conformance to defined requirements, product quality, or a regulatory filing. Notification must include the necessary change documentation demonstrating the acceptability and compliance of the change. We expect our supplier’s change control activities to be well planned and documented to assure full compliance of products to the requirements.

At a minimum, our suppliers are expected to:

• Ensure that personnel executing the change are qualified
• Evaluate all changes for product or process risk, including efficacy and safety
• Properly document and communicate changes to Vantive, in writing, prior to execution, and
• Obtain Vantive’s approval in the electronic system prior to implementation.
