Supplier Risk Compliance

Ameren has contracted its supplier risk compliance certification program to Avetta, LLC, a third-party verification company. Suppliers are required to register with the Avetta Connect Platform within 10 days after the award of a contract or purchase order (PO) for services that require the Supplier to be physically present on Ameren property. Suppliers that furnish goods are not required to register with Avetta.

  Avetta will scan and archive your company’s important data and documents, including insurance information, certifications, licenses, safety information and training documents.
