Consumers are more mindful than ever that goods they purchase are produced sustainably – which includes a responsible supply chain with strong environmental, social and governance (ESG) credentials.
Our global value chain includes 20,000 suppliers across multiple industries and countries. These suppliers are critical to the success of our business. So we work closely with them to build capacity, support innovation, and recognise their significant economic contribution and community support.
One way we’re doing that in Western Australia is with a new Supplier Recognition Awards program. This year around 180 local suppliers were nominated for awards.
Hear from some of our award winners about their initiatives that are helping us find better ways to produce the materials the world needs.
