Suppliers

Our business relies on a complex and expanding network of suppliers.

Merger - BHP Petroleum and Woodside

As an existing Woodside Supplier, there is no immediate impact from the merger to your current arrangement(s) with Woodside. 

Woodside will be in further contact if there are any changes or impacts that develop in the future after merger day one (1 June 2022) and encourages you to monitor our website for further information about the merger.

If you are separately an existing BHP Petroleum Supplier, please monitor the BHP external website for further information.

Supporting Woodside’s Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP)

Throughout the duration of Woodside's 2016-2020 RAP, we worked with our contractors to continue to provide opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander businesses. We thank our contractors for sharing our commitment in growing the number of employees, trainees and contracting opportunities in our host communities.

To find out more about our contributions under the 2016-2020 RAP, read the 2020 Report here, and the statement from Woodside’s Chief Procurement Officer here.

We have a standardised approach to developing category and contracting strategies, supplier selection and evaluation, supplier and contractor management, and procure-to-pay activities. We identify and quantify supply-chain risks, with appropriate controls and performance measures included in contract and supplier management plans. Shared values are important to us, and our anti-bribery and corruption due-diligence processes ensure appropriate screening, evaluation and monitoring of current and potential suppliers.

Advance fee fraud scams
We never ask prospective suppliers for upfront fees. If your business receives a request for upfront payment from someone claiming to represent Woodside, please report the matter to your local law enforcement agency, and let us know through our Contact page. We are working with authorities to identify Advance Fee Fraud Scams and limit their impact.
