Responsible sourcing

Strong supply chains are essential to delivering hygiene and health solutions at scale. Through responsible sourcing, we work to reduce risk, strengthen resilience, promote respect for human rights, and improve transparency across our value chain.

By working closely with suppliers and focusing on the materials that matter most, we create long-term value for our business, customers, and society. The materials and services we source come with different opportunities and risks.

Our Global Supplier Standard sets out requirements for quality, product safety, environmental performance, and chemical management. It also includes our Supplier Code of Conduct, which outlines expectations related to human rights, health and safety, and business ethics. Compliance with these requirements is a key consideration when selecting and evaluating suppliers.
