Respecting human rights and driving growth responsibly
The impacts of our business go far beyond our people, premises and vehicles. And our obligations do too. We believe that everyone is entitled to safe and decent work. Our Global Supply Chain Solutions team based in Shanghai allows us to have a thorough level of oversight over our supply chain.
This is a competitive advantage in our industry, with our 50-strong team regularly auditing direct suppliers to ensure that the products they manufacture are of the highest quality and they are treating their employees fairly.
Today
Our supply chain in Asia is currently covered by direct auditing and assurance practices with 754 audits in Asia completed in 2021.
Tomorrow
Expanding our programme to ensure products from all high-risk regions are sourced from assessed and compliant suppliers by 2025.
Beyond
Continuing to take a proactive, risk-based approach to responsible sourcing, identifying common issues in our supply chain and working closely with suppliers to reduce the future incidences of these.
