Sustainable sourcing
We view the businesses that supply products and services to us as important partners in creating sustainable outcomes.
With thousands of suppliers providing us with goods and services worth over $5 billion annually, we recognise the significance of our supply chain to the sustainability of our operations, and the opportunities it creates to drive positive social and environmental change.
As part of our commitment to sustainable sourcing, we foster constructive long term relationships with suppliers that share our focus on socially responsible and sustainable business practices. This is because we recognise that many of our social, ethical and environmental impacts reside as much in our supplier relationships as in our own activities.

How we are driving social change through supplier inclusion and diversity
We seek to buy from businesses that are driven by a social or environmental purpose or that support people who have traditionally been financially excluded.
