Value Chain
It is our responsibility to manage environmental and social risks throughout our value chain. We have established policies and procedures to monitor the effectiveness of our suppliers’ environmental and social management. We have strict customer service protocols that guide our service quality and manage customers’ satisfaction, health and safety and data privacy.
Procurement
We are committed to identifying and managing the environmental and social impacts associated with our supply chain. We comply with all relevant laws and regulations and we expect the same from our business partners. While the "Supplier Code of Conduct (NWD)" outlines our expectations with regards to environmentally and socially responsible behaviour, we have developed the "Supply Chain Management Guide" and "Sustainable Procurement Guide" to provide guidance to our operations teams on the incorporation of ESG considerations in procurement decisions. These documents state the expectations of our suppliers and partners on important matters from the prevention of bribery and discrimination, human rights, to environmental protection and health and safety.
Social and environmental issues vary across our business units and are managed according to the business needs of each, within the Group’s framework. Each of our business units also has procurement policies, procedures and guidelines that suit their needs. ESG and sustainability are factored into the assessment of new suppliers and performance reviews of existing suppliers.
