Ethical and social responsibility

The Service Business actively supports clients to foster and drive sustainability and social responsibility excellence across their supply chain, through the development of principles, the sharing of tools, information, and best practice.

The Environment

Responsible and ethical business practices are central to our efforts to ensure socially and environmentally responsible supply chains.
Our work with supply chain companies involves multiple initiatives supporting environmental sustainability and compliance to EU standards.

These include:

  • Packaging recycling and reuse
  • Redesign of transport routes for improved efficiency  
  • Implementation of warehousing initiatives to create fewer, fuller lorries and fuel reduction.
  • Focus on WEEE and EU transportation requirements
  • Continued assessment of the supply base for environmental progress
