Demonstrated progress

We implemented new processes with the aim of ensuring all new suppliers sign our Supplier Code of Conduct, identified our highest-risk suppliers across key metrics and began to develop an action plan to address those risks. We work with a UK NGO to deep screen our suppliers, identified procurement areas where we can adopt a sustainability first approach to suppliers and began to develop and implement an approved suppliers' policy, set targets for specific metrics on a supplier category basis.
