Suppliers
Suppliers are critical to the success of our business and the 45 million members we serve. Elevance Health’s Global Supply Chain function facilitates partnerships with hundreds of suppliers, managing over $7 billion of indirect spending in products and services. To ensure the appropriate amount of due diligence, we categorize suppliers and assign a risk rating based on spend, value, operational risk or business relevance, and strategic risk. Elevance Health partners with suppliers based on the quality and cost of their products and services, and on the suppliers’ alignment with our mission and core values.
We assess our critical suppliers’ alignment with Elevance Health’s mission and core values. Our robust Supplier Code of Conduct — which addresses topics such as human and labor rights, anticorruption policies, workplace safety standards and responsible paper guidelines — is standard in supplier contracts; suppliers are required to acknowledge and attest to it on a regular basis. The code sets expectations, in alignment with Elevance Health’s values, for how our suppliers do business.
As part of our enterprise sustainability goals, we ask top spend suppliers to set their own scope 1 and 2 science-based greenhouse gas emission reduction targets. We use the CDP (formerly Climate Disclosure Project) Supply Chain to collect environmental metrics from suppliers for a consistent assessment of their programs. Training is provided to internal procurement associates and assessed suppliers.
Supplier Development
Supplier development contributes to upholding Elevance Health’s core values and is one important way we improve the economic health of our communities. By procuring products and services from a wide range of suppliers, we stimulate economic development in our communities and strengthen our procurement options.
Our supplier development team works with business partners from across Elevance Health to ensure that qualified suppliers participate in sourcing opportunities.
In 2024, Elevance Health worked with more than 1,000 diverse suppliers and spent more than $1.2 billion with these suppliers.
