United supply chain
United supply chain
Our purpose drives us to deliver our services in an environmentally sustainable, economically beneficial and socially responsible manner. The United Supply Chain Approach (USC), is fundamental to achieving our purpose and is our supplier engagement strategy, setting out our expectations for the next five years up to 2025. The focus of USC is about being better together.
It is our belief that working collaboratively and building assurance within our supply chain will mitigate risk, build resilience, improve compliance and ultimately deliver better value. Suppliers are expected to become signatories to our Responsible Sourcing Principles and we encourage those suppliers who have the capability to become leaders to work more closely with us and set a positive example for others.
