To fulfill our mission and purpose, we have high expectations; however, our strategy remains simple:

• Select the best suppliers that demonstrate outstanding value at acceptable levels of risk.
• Collaborate to remove waste, inefficiencies and delays.
• Measure and validate ongoing risk and performance outcomes.
• Expect and encourage continuous improvement.
• Consistently pay invoices within contract terms.
• Treat vendors fairly and respectfully.

Protective believes in the value of long-term relationships that deliver competitive results. However, when appropriate, we periodically review our supply strategies and retest markets. Most of our third-party spending falls into one of the following categories:

• Automotive parts and services
• Business process outsourcing and third party administration
• Employee benefits
• Financial and risk products and services
• Information technology products and services
• Mail, print and records management
• Medical exams and lab testing
• Marketing and advertising
• Professional services
• Travel and event planning

If your organization would like to be considered for future needs, we invite you to register as a prospective supplier.

Though we will not be able to follow up with every inquiry, we will consider those who have registered for future sourcing opportunities.

Protective Life Corporation has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and a Supplier Code of Business Conduct. These ensure that everyone who works for and with Protective adheres to our corporate values, the law, and promotes the spirit of fairness and honesty.
