Sustainable Sourcing in the Supply Chain

As partners in our sustainability journey, our suppliers play a key role in achieving our decarbonization objectives, and we work with them to elevate our shared social and environmental performance.

Through direct engagement, training, and tailored resources, we work with suppliers to help reduce operational emissions, strengthen social and environmental performance, and encourage the adoption of carbon reduction programs and Scope 1 and 2 targets. We also embed social, environmental, and emissions expectations into our supplier requirements and agreements, helping drive greater accountability and progress across our value chain.
