Supply Chain Support
Having healthy local supply chains is a key contributor towards the growth of sustainable local economies. We collaborate with individual businesses, governments and large corporations to facilitate and support local participation in the supply chains of big industry. We can help your business prepare to secure long-term income streams, reach local content targets and direct you on a path to decarbonisation.
Joining The Supply Chains of Large Organisations and Governments
When you join major supply chains, it is important to consider the capacity and skills within your business and put a strategic plan in place to ensure you don’t get overwhelmed. We can work with your business to build you and your employees capability and strengthen tender applications so you’re in the best position to meet supply chain expectations.
Achieving Environmental Social Governance In Supply Chains
Business Foundations values sustainability, so we are committed to helping individual businesses, governments, and large corporations reduce their Scope 3 carbon emissions and implement circular economies. We are certified in the Corporate Value Supply Chain (Scope 3) Accounting and Reporting Standard. Our experts can help you with identifying, assessing and reporting your value chain emissions and finding ways to reduce them within your operations and supply chains.
Reaching Local Content Targets
Did you know that many supply chains have local content targets they are required to meet? These targets have been implemented to ensure small and medium-sized businesses are provided with equitable opportunities to sustainably grow. Over the past 30 years, we have built a strong network of local government authorities, chambers of commerce, and 1000s of businesses that we can help you identify and ensure they can meet your organisational requirements.
How We Have Helped
Chevron
Business Foundations has previously partnered with Chevron in Onslow and Karratha to work with Tier 2 and Tier 3 suppliers to improve their managerial capabilities. By working within the specific frameworks of Chevron’s contractual requirements, suppliers were informed of ways to improve that can increase their opportunities for long-term contracts in Chevron’s Gorgon and Wheatstone LNG projects.
City of Canning
Business Foundations has been engaged to lead the Canning Decarbonisation Project alongside two other organisations, to understand the barriers and enables for change in the practices of individual businesses within the Local Government Area. Our work will help the City understand how they can help commercial supply chains to work together to achieve a net-zero outcome.
City of Rockingham
The marine defence industry is a major economic contributor to the City of Rockingham. We have been engaged on multiple occasions to run a series of workshops that build capacity in local businesses so they could join the defence supply chain. We collaborated with the City and the Department of Defence and Prime Contractors to create a relevant workshop suite that focused on procurement and business management.
