BD Global Procurement strives to continuously deliver the highest sustained value for our company by leveraging our full competitive supply base using highly effective and efficient systems and processes.
BD products and businesses require diverse materials, supplies and services. To select the right supply strategy and supplier base for each need while accommodating continual global and industry changes, BD Global Procurement must diligently analyze internal and external dynamics—from risk to pricing to innovation.
Our associates lead cross-functional sourcing teams to review businesses' needs, for each category of purchase, against these critical factors:
Implementation of sourcing includes rigorous testing and validation protocols where required by government regulations, and we enable significant annual savings through continuous improvements to maximize the value from the supply base.
BD Global Procurement continuously improves the reliability, quality, and cost effectiveness of our procured products and services. We closely collaborate with strategic and preferred suppliers to develop continuous improvement projects—ranging from simple lean and waste reduction measures, to full Six Sigma programs—to increase value, savings, and competitive advantage.

The BD Supply Chain Resiliency and Responsible Sourcing program works collaboratively across the company to seek out opportunities to engage with our suppliers and improve our environmental, social, and governance impacts. By doing so, we will mitigate risks, meet key compliance requirements, create shared value, and positively impact the communities and individuals with whom we conduct business. At BD, we understand that our supply chain has a significant impact on various ESG topics. By actively collaborating with our suppliers to manage these impacts, we can work together towards improvement.
As part of this work, BD seeks to ensure that suppliers have policies and appropriate practices in place to cover things like Supplier Human Rights and Environmental Due Diligence in the Supply Chain, Conflict Minerals, Risk, Information Security, Quality, Emissions Reductions, and Supplier Inclusion. We ask suppliers to demonstrate compliance with our Expectations for Suppliers; the foundation of this program. We also provide tools, resources, trainings, and best practice guides to support supplier development efforts on each of these pillars. Suppliers also have access to the BD Responsible Sourcing Toolkit, designed to build supplier capacity on these topics. Reach out to BDResponsibleSourcing@bd.com to get access to the toolkit.
Supply Chain Resiliency and Responsible Sourcing Program
Supplier Human Rights and Environmental Due Diligence
The BD Supplier Human Rights and Environmental Due Diligence program evaluates our supply base for human rights and environmental risk and asks suppliers to implement corrective/ preventative actions where they have gaps. Our aim is to ensure that our supply chain is free from human rights abuses, minimizes environmental impact, and is promoting good work opportunities across the communities we buy from.
BD is committed to protecting the planet and collaborating with stakeholders across our supply chain to address the effects of climate change. We motivate our suppliers to disclose their environmental performance and usage of various materials of concern, and will actively engage and collaborate with them to reduce our Scope 3 carbon emissions.
Supplier Inclusion Program
Through the BD Supplier Inclusion program, we focus on creating positive community impact through an inclusive supply base. In this program, we actively work to advance economies in the communities of the customers and patients we serve.
Our Supply Chain Resiliency efforts focus on delivering supplier resiliency and continuity of supply to ensure our commitments to healthcare are met.
At BD, we are on a journey toward advancing cybersecurity maturity in our products, manufacturing operational technology (OT), and enterprise information technology (IT). Our Supplier Cybersecurity Program vets and applies risk-based controls to suppliers who access, manage, operate, administer, or process BD information or assets.
Supplier Quality is responsible for establishing and implementing global processes and essential tools to enable effective supplier qualification, performance management, and development through partnership with suppliers and key functional groups.
