Marketplace
Instilling CSR principles across the supply chain
CSR 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.
