Supply Chain
Northern Star aims to partner with responsible suppliers who contribute to our goals of sustainable operations and respect for human rights in global supply chains.
We engage a network of tier-1 suppliers both nationally and internationally to procure goods and services that are essential for our production activities.
Where feasible, we procure materials from local suppliers within the regions we operate in, thereby maximising the local economic impact as well as reducing our global carbon footprint through shipping reductions.
Northern Star recognises the value Indigenous businesses create within our supply chain.
Promoting and encouraging Indigenous business through procurement and capacity building is a significant means of supporting the Traditional Owners on whose land we are privileged to operate.
As a Company, Northern Star is committed to the continuous development and establishment of sustainable supply contracts with Indigenous businesses. Across all Operations, our team is creating procurement contract opportunities for Traditional Owner businesses and local Indigenous businesses.
Northern Star use the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs) and its continuum of involvement (cause, contribute, directly linked) to inform our understanding of exposure to modern slavery risks within our operations and supply chain.
