We´re extra careful about who we choose to buy from or work with. Before we take on a new supplier or partner, we score them on six different areas. They must care for and respect their people, their neighbours and the environment. And in return, they can expect the same strict standards of us. It works both ways.

the six signs

When we're deciding whether to work with a new supplier or partner, we score them on six different areas:

But that's just the first test. Once we start working with a supplier, we expect them to meet our ongoing benchmarks.

risk checks

We also weigh up the different kinds of risks our suppliers or partners might be facing – political, social and environmental.

clear contracts

We´re careful to always be clear about our expectations, delivery and payment terms. And we´ve got checks to make sure we pay people on time and in full.

ethical conduct

We have a code of ethics that we all follow. It´s designed to help our buyers translate our values into the sourcing decisions they make day-to-day.
