Investors Media Our Careers Who we are Our responsibility Home What we do Where we operate News & Blog Brands Procurement & Supply Value for customers and shareholders About Procurement & Supply Chain Millicom Procurement and Supply Chain is part of Millicom International Cellular S.A. (MICSA), established in Luxembourg, with local procurement teams in our London and Miami corporate office locations as well as in our operations in Africa and Latin America. All business related purchases with Millicom are done by MICSA. Other Millicom legal entities typically engage only in office or employee-related purchases. While Millicom Procurement and Supply Chain identifies, contracts and manages suppliers covering the needs of the Millicom HQs, it also acts extensively on behalf of the Millicom operating companies to source an extensive range of products and services. This includes technical telecommunications products such as network, IT, platforms and devices, and non-telecommunications services, such as management consulting, HR and other business services. In addition, Procurement teams local to our operations may also engage directly with interested suppliers, with appropriate guidance from the central team where appropriate. How to become a supplier to Millicom Group We always endeavor to select suppliers who share our values, our commitment to uncompromising quality and our passion for enabling the digital life style for our customers. Our supplier qualification process is based on the suppliers' ability to comply and align with our standards in terms of compliance, human rights, working conditions, health & safety, anti-bribery & anti-corruption, business governance, financial stability and technical capability. The qualification process requires our suppliers to be transparent about their business practices. Suppliers are expected to actively engage in the qualification process with a combination of self-assessments and on-site audits. We strive to build strong relationships with our suppliers to ensure that global standards are continuously maintained. On an on-going basis we work in close collaboration with our suppliers to improve operations, both in terms of quality and innovation. Any potential suppliers wishing to work with Millicom or any of its legal entities must complete the Supplier pre-qualification form, review and accept Millicom global and/or local Standard Terms & Conditions as well as Supplier Code of Conduct.

Millicom's Supplier Code of Conduct We select and favor those who share our values and our ethical commitments. Millicom's Supplier Code of Conduct articulates the ethical, social, environmental standards we apply for ourselves and want all of our suppliers to adhere to. The Millicom Supplier Code of Conduct is applicable to all our suppliers globally, and we request suppliers to either sign and accept our Code as part of their legal binding contract with us, or present to us their own equivalent Code. We apply mandatory third-party verified self-assessment against the Supplier Code for suppliers providing certain types of products and services, or for specific spend thresholds, and reserve the right to carry out on-site audits of suppliers against the requirements of the Code. In the case of any violations, we’re committed to working with our suppliers for sustainable improvements. In addition to the Supplier Code of Conduct, the Millicom Anti-Bribery & Anti-Corruption Policy details our approach and commitment to Anti-Bribery & Anti-Corruption standards and how we expect any suppliers to Millicom to act to ensure that our standards are continually achieved. Millicom Procurement and Supply Chain plays a role in managing and preventing any bribery and corruption risk in our value chain. We require our suppliers to comply with all applicable legal and ethical standards and that they are equally committed to preventing bribery and corruption in any form, including, but not limited to facilitation payments, extortion, money laundering and other illegal or unethical gratuities or payments. It is our strong belief that independence is a key component of an ethically compliant procurement organization, and, consistent with this commitment, Millicom Procurement and Supply Chain and its employees do not accept gifts or offers of entertainment from current or prospective suppliers. We expect our suppliers to comply with this rule.
