Instilling CSR principles across the supply chain
We have set the standard in our industry to ensure that CSR
principles inform our dealings right across the supply chain, with
our top 75 suppliers all adhering to our Supplier Code of
Conduct.
Corporate social responsibility doesn't begin and end at
the company's doors. Our actions also have indirect consequences,
sometimes through supply chain partners.
Our marketplace strategy is designed to ensure that, as far as
possible, we limit any negative outcomes for our suppliers,
customers and other stakeholders.
We aim to set the standard in our industry to ensure that CSR
principles inform our dealings right across the supply chain. As
part of that initiative, we're an active member of Business In The
Community (BITC).
We are continuously improving our procurement policy. It
now incorporates the principles of UN Global compact. We're
reappointing existing suppliers and appointing new ones under the
changed terms.
We're currently evaluating the sustainability benefits of our
product offerings to make sure they too advance these
principles.
