Responsible Procurement

We are committed to conducting business with the highest ethical standards, and we expect the same of our suppliers. At the same time, we also see opportunities to generate shared value through sustainability.

We recognize that advancing sustainability requires collaboration beyond our own operations. By working closely with suppliers who share our commitment to responsible practices, we can extend positive environmental and social impacts across our global value chain.

Since launching our Supplier Sustainability Assessment Program in 2021, we have steadily increased participation in annual assessments that align with internationally recognized reporting frameworks. These efforts enhance transparency, strengthen accountability, and help identify opportunities to address social, environmental, and ethical risks while advancing shared value. A key part of our approach is engaging critical suppliers to build resilience and promote sustainable practices, including initiatives that support a lower-carbon future. For example, we are actively encouraging the use of electric vehicle truck transport across our network of facilities and customer operations.

Together, we can drive meaningful progress toward a more sustainable supply chain and create lasting benefits for our stakeholders and the environment.

survey
We conducted a sustainability survey with more than 10,000 suppliers across the globe as part of our commitment to understand the impacts across our value chain and the level of action being undertaken by our supply chain partners. The survey questions covered topics including climate and environmental engagement, water security and diversity. The results provided insights into the level of sustainability awareness, risk management and commitment among our suppliers as we work together to enable a more sustainable future.
