Dräger differentiates between general terms and conditions for purchasing and IT terms and conditions for purchasing.

The 'Supply Chain Handbook for Suppliers' is available for download in German, English and Chinese and provides information on the requirements for suppliers of production-related materials in the main production and logistics locations.

In addition to the classic individual order, the procurement models of vendor schedules, Kanban and vendor managed inventory offer a high level of logistical integration. You can find out more about the models, framework conditions and availability per location in the 'Supply Chain Handbook for Suppliers'. If you already work for us, please get in touch with your personal contact person for specific explanations. 

In addition to key figures on the quality and cost-effectiveness of services offered, the performance indicators for reliability in logistics are of particular importance. These include the key figures for reliability and VMI performance (compliance with inventory limits) as well as the key figures for shipment notification.

Invoicing via e-invoicing can be sent to the email address provided by your contact.

In today's rapidly evolving business landscape, we find ourselves facing new challenges and opportunities, with one of the most pressing issues being sustainability. We would like to explore the opportunity for the collaboration with our suppliers to better support the sustainability requirements in accordance with the German Supply Chain Act. Sustainability has become a central concern for businesses worldwide. The increasing awareness of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues has led to a growing demand from consumers, investors, and governments for companies to operate responsibly and ethically. In Germany, the recent introduction of the German Supply Chain Act (Lieferkettensorgfaltspflichtengesetz) has further underscored the importance of sustainable practices within supply chains. 

The aim is to get more knowledge about our suppliers and their sustainability performance. Therefore, each Tier-1 supplier of direct or indirect material must be assessed for their sustainability risk at least once a year. The same assessment takes place for new suppliers. For this evaluation we use the CSR provider EcoVadis in two steps. The first step evaluates a theoretical risk for human rights violations and environmental pollution by country and sector of the supplier. Depending on the strategic meaning of the supplier we ask them to fulfill a complete EcoVadis rating in the second step. Of course, we appreciate if our suppliers already have a sustainability rating and can share it with us. If you want to learn more about EcoVadis and the meaning of the rating system, please visit Dragerwerk AG and Co KgaA (ecovadis.com). In addition to the rating, we need the support of all our suppliers in regard of transparency about the value chains, material specifications and production methods.
