“Knowing who participates in our supply chain, meeting them and checking their operations is important to us. We have achieved this with our Tier 1 suppliers, visiting them between 6-10 times annually (notwithstanding disruptions to travel posed by Covid-19 and border closures).” (Onsite audit – self reporting)

“We have limited visibility into Tier 3 to date. We are working closely with our suppliers to try to understand more about our raw material origins.” (In development)
