Our Communities
We believe in being a positive actor in society and in our communities. We Make a Difference through Sustainable Sourcing and Community Impact.
Sustainable Sourcing
In addition to incorporating Sustainability into our supplier qualification processes and day-to-day management, we aim to build a culture in our procurement practices that integrate sustainability into every aspect of supply chain management. We want to advise on how to best act sustainably, to understand our obligations and responsibilities and identify the areas in which we can all contribute towards a more sustainable future through the decisions we make.
