Online Onboarding

We’ve tried to make the procurement procedure as painless as possible. Our buyers and suppliers use automated online platforms throughout the process – from setting up a profile to buying a product and receiving payment. These platforms accelerate processing, minimize errors, and allow us to collaborate more easily with you.

How We Work

Motiva has a simple framework that clearly lays out what we expect from our suppliers. Suppliers must commit to either our business principles or equal standards in their own activities and subcontracting. It’s also essential that suppliers provide workers with a dedicated whistle-blowing mechanism to confidentially report grievances.

Supplier Principles

We prioritize maintaining an ethical supply chain. All contractors and suppliers must follow our Supplier Code of Conduct, outlining our expectations for suppliers, including health, safety, and environmental standards; human rights; and anti-retaliation measures.
