Sourcing

Building strong and sustainable supplier relationships.

At SEB, sourcing is carried out through a structured and transparent process that ensures fairness, quality, and sustainability in supplier selection. We invite potential suppliers to take part in sourcing events where proposals are evaluated against clear and objective criteria.

We are always open to collaboration with suppliers who deliver high quality, operate responsibly, and share our commitment to long-term sustainability. If you are interested in becoming a supplier, we encourage you to familiarise yourself with our values and expectations as outlined in our Code of Conduct for Suppliers.

Digital sourcing with BuySmart by SEB

We manage sourcing activities through our e-sourcing platform, BuySmart by SEB (powered by Coupa). This ensures an efficient, fair, and professional process where invited suppliers can respond to:

  • Requests for Information (RFI)
  • Requests for Quotation (RFQ)
  • Requests for Proposal (RFP)

What suppliers can expect

  • Invitations are sent via email from BuySmart by SEB.
  • Suppliers can submit bids, ask questions, and communicate with us through the platform.
  • Additional information may be shared directly by the SEB Sourcing team via email.

Step-by-step guidance on how to use BuySmart

We recommend all suppliers to review Coupa’s user guide before taking part in any sourcing event.
