Suppliers

Abbott suppliers are required to read and agree to our Supplier Guidelines (English, Chinese, French, Spanish), which describe expectations for the following:

• Ethical behavior
• Business integrity and fair competition
• Privacy
• Labor rights and worker protection
• Animal welfare
• Environmental stewardship
• Health and safety practices

• If access to previous Supplier Guidelines is needed, please email supplier.sustainability@abbott.com

Prospective suppliers can register through Abbott’s supplier portal.

Our global standards set forth the principles that apply across all of our businesses worldwide. These standards provide guidance on interactions with individuals and groups such as healthcare professionals, customers, patients, and consumers. Local policies and procedures supplement these standards and assist employees in making compliance decisions at a country level.  We expect employees to do business the right way. These same expectations are applicable to Abbott Suppliers when performing functions on our behalf.

• Our standard payment terms are net 90 from date of invoice.
• Suppliers must have an up-to-date supplier registration for orders to be placed.
• Invoices must use the unit of measure on the Purchase Order (P.O.) for the invoice to be paid.

For questions about payments, or if you are interested in submitting invoices via EDI, fax or e-mail, please contact our Accounts Payable Call Center at corpdcc@abbott.com or use (866) 848-6841.
