Operating ethically
We are a well-governed business founded on ethical principles and transparency, where we aspire to do the right things the right way.
Driving ethical business standards
Acting responsibly in environmental, economic and social terms is an integral part of our mission and culture. It is an expression of our environmental and corporate social responsibility. We adhere to high ethical standards, respect human rights, and expect no less of our suppliers and partners. Our business activities are aligned with the aspirations of the United Nations Global Compact and to 12 of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and are continuously scrutinised by top management. The sustainability assessment platforms most relevant to our areas of business activity are NQC Supplier Assurance, EcoVadis and CDP.
