Case Study: LafargeHolcim Brazil achieves streamlined supplier prequalification and reduced supply-chain risk with Avetta

LafargeHolcim Brazil - Customer Case Study

LafargeHolcim Brazil, part of the global building materials leader, faced an unmanageable supplier landscape—roughly 2,300 contractors across 80 plants—where prequalification was done by email and spreadsheets, producing inconsistent evaluations and limited visibility into sustainability and human‑rights risks. To standardize and professionalize supplier onboarding, LafargeHolcim Brazil selected Avetta and its supply‑chain risk management/prequalification platform (Brazil pilot went live in April 2016).

Avetta implemented its prequalification and auditing solution to standardize evaluations, add sustainability and human‑rights criteria, and allow one‑time supplier qualification across sites, cutting paperwork and duplication. The rollout improved objectivity and efficiency, freed internal staff to focus on contracting, earned high supplier satisfaction for the intuitive platform and support, and reached a milestone number of fully qualified (green‑flagged) suppliers—delivering faster, more consistent prequalification and lower supply‑chain risk for LafargeHolcim Brazil.
