Context

Increasingly complex global supply chains are where many of the greatest impacts occur for most businesses. We can improve the resiliency of our supply chain by collaborating with suppliers through the products and services we buy. We assess the sustainability of our suppliers and help them to improve so that we can work together to deliver progress on sustainability.

Contribution to the UN SDGs Sourcing sustainably involves protecting labour rights and promoting safe and secure working environments.
