#3 ranking

In FY24, our supply chain environmental management performance was ranked 3 out of 1,503 corporations by the Climate Action Transparency Index.

Driving greater levels of transparency in our supply chain

Through partnerships with our suppliers, we are taking steps to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, promote water stewardship and expand waste management systems.

Our supply chain carbon footprint includes emissions that our suppliers generate as they provide products and services to us. Our ambition is that by 2030, we will reduce absolute scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services by 45%.

Working with stakeholders to support water stewardship

Working with stakeholders to support water stewardship

Water stewardship — the responsible planning and management of resources — is vital to a sustainable future. In addition to water use considerations around the manufacturing of our products, several suppliers operate in water-stressed areas.

We work closely with suppliers who have water intensive processes to analyze their water use, offer training, and develop and implement water management plans to reduce water use and wastewater discharge.

We conduct regular online training sessions on water management elements from the Alliance for Water Stewardship to close any gaps in suppliers’ compliance with the AWS Standard.

Innovative resource management

Innovative resource management is critical to our long-term business resilience and global environmental health. As part of our efforts in this area, we collaborate with suppliers to identify alternatives to reduce or reuse waste that would otherwise be sent to landfills.
