We are committed to responsible sourcing practices that promote sustainability, uphold ethical standards, and ensure compliance with legal and industry requirements. This policy outlines our overarching approach to managing environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors in our supply chain.
Our Commitment
We aim to:
- Source materials and services in a way that respects human rights and labour standards.
- Reduce environmental impact throughout our supply chain.
- Prioritise local sourcing where available and appropriate to support regional economies, reduce transportation emissions, and strengthen supply resilience.
- Reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and minimise resource use across our operations and supply chain.
- Support circular economy principles by reducing waste and encouraging reuse, recycling, and responsible product lifecycle management.
- Work only with suppliers who align with our ethical values and compliance expectations.
- Foster long-term, transparent, and responsible supplier relationships.
Supplier Expectations
All suppliers are required to comply with our Supplier Code of Conduct, which sets out clear standards relating to:
- Ethical business practices
- Labour and human rights
- Environmental responsibility
- Transparency and traceability
- Responsible material sourcing
The full Supplier Code of Conduct is available upon request
Transparency and Continuous Improvement
- Promote traceability of materials and ethical procurement.
- Improve performance through assessments, training, and shared best practices.

Monitoring and Accountability
We assess supplier compliance through risk assessments, audits, and ongoing monitoring. Non-compliance may lead to corrective action or termination of the supplier relationship.
Governance and Review
This policy is reviewed regularly to ensure it remains aligned with international standards, stakeholder expectations, and our own strategic objectives.
Reporting Concerns
We encourage open communication. Any concerns about responsible sourcing or supplier conduct may be reported in confidence.
