Baxter Suppliers
We consider several environmental and social factors as we integrate sustainable practices into our procurement processes. We collaborate with our suppliers to identify opportunities to improve environmental performance, such as reducing energy use, greenhouse gas emissions and waste. We also promote human rights throughout our supplier base and seek to maximize procurement opportunities from small, minority, women, LGBT, disabled and veteran business enterprises by proactively identifying qualified suppliers.
New Suppliers
We consider price, quality, environmental criteria and other factors when selecting and evaluating our suppliers. We do this with the intent to develop sustainable growth plans and build sound partnerships within all areas of our supply chain.
eCommerce Business
The automation of business transactions can help enable savings, efficiencies and accuracy across the revenue cycle. We support both Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), for direct connection between provider and supplier, and Internet-commerce, which connects buyers and sellers via a common technology platform to place orders and receive invoices online. We are also part of the Global Healthcare Exchange (GHX), the first Internet (supplier) exchange for the healthcare industry.
