The process to become a Nortel supplier starts with the completion of the Supplier Self Profile. Once this is completed your company profile will be forwarded to the appropriate Portfolio Strategy Team leader for consideration.

Nortel continually strives to develop and promote high standards of business behavior and social responsibility. Our Guide to Ethical Business Practice promotes fairness and dignity for the people and environments wherever we do business. To this end, Nortel has established a Supplier Code of Conduct that outlines certain principles expected from our supplier base and throughout the Nortel supply chain.  Nortel expects all suppliers – especially our "Preferred" and "Strategic" suppliers – to adopt and adhere to policies and procedures that uphold the same high standards of integrity and ethical business practice that Nortel does. It is important to Nortel that all suppliers represent us in a manner that enhances our reputation and relationships with our stakeholders, including customers, around the world.
