Supply Chain Finance LUKOIL

Supply Chain Finance (SCF) has been developed in order to optimize the conditions of the payment terms with selected LUKOIL suppliers.   The SCF Program allows our suppliers to get access to funding from financial institutes – partners of program at highly attractive conditions, under the pledge of revenue, or assignment of claims under a contract with LUKOIL.
The implementation of SFC will improve the efficiency of interactions between LUKOIL and its own suppliers.
