Running a responsible supply chain
Running a responsible supply chain is an important strategic challenge for us. In our competitive market, the pressure to control costs is high. Without careful management, this pressure could create unacceptable social and environmental risks in our supply chain. And in our sector, we don’t always have a large choice of suppliers.
Our main aims are:
- to integrate Corporate Responsibility into our decision-making process
- to continuously improve the way we manage our environmental and social impact
- to ensure there is no discrimination in our supply chain
- to help our suppliers make social and environmental improvements to their own supply chains.
In order to manage Corporate Responsibility effectively across our supply chain, we’ve launched a number of initiatives that make social and environmental considerations an integral part of our procurement process.
