Engaging with local businesses on supplier days

Addressing a key concern raised in engagements with our host communities, Harmony’s annual supplier days drive, increase and highlight procurement opportunities for local businesses.

Supplier days create opportunities and suitable conditions for host communities to increasingly participate in our mining value chain through local procurement and business development, and enable Harmony to engage meaningfully with host communities.

At the event, our various departments participate and share information about Harmony’s procurement processes with entrepreneurs. This encourages entrepreneurs to grow their businesses in partnership with Harmony. The supplier days also help us understand our suppliers’ needs and how we can improve our transactions for mutual benefit.

The five supplier days held in FY23 reached 500 entrepreneurs.
