Supply Chain
Our supply chain strategy is underpinned by our core ethical values, focused on driving optimal working conditions for our people and those connected to our business.
It is also linked to our environmental approach, and we ensure – as part of our procurement process – that our supply chain partners’ impact on the climate is considered.
We have cultivated and maintain a collaborative, mutually-beneficial supply chain, sharing skills and unlocking opportunities that help drive positive social and environmental outcomes.
This is supported through the Supply Chain Sustainability School, who help create long- term, sustainable relationships for us and our partners.
