“— Supply chain management and monitoring.

– New suppliers of commercial goods must meet our minimum requirements, which we assess prior to production. For all our suppliers of commercial goods, we apply our Sustainability Impact Partnership Programme (SIPP), which monitors performance on a broad range of social and environmental issues on an ongoing basis.”

“– Our other business partners, for non-commercial goods (NCG) and services, are also subject to regular monitoring of compliance with the requirements in the Sustainability Commitment. 83% of our NCG suppliers and 79% of their factories are enrolled in SIPP. For warehousing we conduct regular audits with a special focus on identified salient issues, for transport we leverage our partnership with the Responsible Trucking Platform, and we do ad-hoc visits at construction sites.”
