Access platformContracting process
Nexa carries out quotations and negotiations for contracts and spot purchases through the Ariba Portal.
For contract negotiations and large purchases, SAP Ariba Sourcing is used, and you can be invited directly by the analyst even before joining the Ariba platform.
For Spot purchase negotiations, SAP Ariba Discovery is used, which requires a prior validation of the platform with the signing of an adhesion term with SAP Ariba.
It is important that the supplier checks the general guidelines described in our documents, as they clarify process items such as the submission of invoices, general conditions and criteria for payments, delivery of goods and use of third parties.

Supplier Management Program
Our Supplier Management Program is based on compliance with Nexa’s values. Regardless of the product or service offered, it is essential that our suppliers are engaged with socio-environmental practices – making responsible use of natural resources and respecting the workers’ rights.
The assessment is applied to our suppliers in the services, materials, inputs, logistics and projects categories, and we consider the ESG dimensions and their final score results in the Supplier Assessment Index (IAF).
ESG dimensions evaluated
At Nexa facilities, suppliers must ensure that all products and services are available and up-to-date in accordance with applicable environmental standards, regulations and laws, as well as actively work to comply with all applicable environmental and material handling policies.
Health and Safety
Nexa expects its suppliers to comply with all Nexa’s Golden Rules in service provision at its units, as well as all applicable government regulations and laws.
Social Management
Nexa expects its suppliers to interact with its different audiences in the geographies where it operates (employees, suppliers, customers and communities), which include views and practices on diversity, human rights and consumer protection.
Performance
Nexa expects the following performance aspects from suppliers: prompt response to requests according to the contracted scope (clear, complete and accurate information); agile resolution of all supply issues, meeting action plans within the deadline and taking appropriate measures to ensure that they do not occur again; guarantee of regular supply without defects or problems; and delivery of products and services to agreed locations and deadlines.
Compliance
Nexa aims to establish a business relationship with partners, customers, suppliers and service providers that share the same commitment to human rights, specifically in relation to: remuneration, labor rights, prevention of harassment, safety, freedom of association, child or forced labor. We emphasize that if the supplier does not meet the Sustainability and Compliance requirements, it will be automatically disqualified.
Legislation
Nexa will evaluate, when applicable or at its discretion, the documentation of ancillary obligations that were delivered by the supplier within the established deadline and if there is any breach of this obligation.
Supplier Recognition Program
Nexa's Supplier Recognition Program Nexa Supplier Recognition Program aims to reward and recognize suppliers with relevant and recurring participation, acting in accordance with our sustainable values and principles and with the purpose of generating value.
A performance assessment (IAF) is carried out, showing the supplier’s score in each ESG dimension, guiding it on what needs to be adjusted internally and encouraging continuous improvement. The higher the score in the assessment, the higher the performance assessment. Suppliers well ranked for their performance (final score) with Nexa and ESG practices are recognized annually.
