Supply Chain Compliance & Integrity
Building responsible and resilient supply chains
Supply Chain Compliance
The compliance programme broadly focuses on addressing the following four concerns in the supply chain:
1. Labour & Human Rights
2. Health & Safety
3. Environment & Climate Change
4. Ethics & Integrity
The key risks associated with the four aspects listed above need to be identified, assessed and mitigated to build a responsible and resilient supply chain. This can be achieved by putting in place management systems to strengthen compliance and governance.
