Supplier Diversity
As an overall strategy for the continuous success of our company, and the businesses that support us.
At PGE we value the partnership we have with our suppliers as we jointly work to fulfill our mission to our customers. As an existing supplier you are encouraged to stay in contact with your buyer, informing them of any updates to your company, product, or service.
Our commitment is to inform our suppliers of any updates to requirements or opportunities through either direct communication or updates to the Supply Chain webpage.
PGE purchase order and invoicing process
At PGE, we use Coupa as our procurement system. There are two ways to receive purchase orders and send invoices with Coupa. For help with questions about Coupa, see Coupa FAQ’s.
We value your support and look forward to continuing to work with you. If you have questions about the options listed above, please contact us at SupplierEngagement@pgn.com.
Option 1: Coupa Supplier Portal (CSP) is the preferred method
Coupa Supplier Portal is an online portal that allows you to view purchase orders and send invoices within Coupa. To start using the CSP:
The CSP Reference Guide will walk you through the process.
Option 2: Supplier Actionable Notification (SAN)
With this option, you receive purchase orders via email. The email includes a way for you to send an invoice directly through the purchase order notification by clicking on Create Invoice.
If you’re good with this option, no further action is needed.
See the below SAN Reference Guide for a step-by-step process overview.

Our commitment to diversity
General rules PGE is committed to promoting diversity and economic development in the communities we serve. One way of demonstrating this is by ensuring equal opportunity in all competitive bid events for qualified minority-owned, women-owned, disabled veteran-owned and emerging small business enterprises (MWESB) suppliers. PGE recognizes that these businesses are vitally important to the overall success of our company.
We are committed to fostering an inclusive procurement process that is accessible and fair to all suppliers based on their ability to meet the company's performance, price and quality requirements. Our employees are responsible for identifying, qualifying, selecting and managing the procurement process for goods and services to assure that qualified diverse suppliers are appropriately included.Â
We also strongly encourage our prime contractors and major suppliers to support supplier diversity by creating a competitive procurement process that provides opportunities to the greatest extent possible for diverse supplier sub-contractors and businesses.

Noncompliance can result in contract termination or removal of a supplier from consideration for future business opportunities...
