Corporate responsibility and sustainability report

Highlights

We seek opportunities to delight customers whilst controlling cost. We will address the sustainability risks in our supply chains, with the goal of minimising the negative environmental and social impacts of our procurement decisions. Whilst meeting our financial and quality requirements, we will make preference to source locally and from sustainable sources in order to support the local communities and environment and, in the process, reduce our carbon and water footprints.
