A holistic approch
To sustainability.
SUPPLIER DUE DILIGENCE
Raw material procurement and due diligence
Recognising the critical role of high-quality raw materials in our operations, we have developed a robust network comprising over 500 direct raw material suppliers. We actively promote local sourcing to support the regional economy, optimise logistics, and minimise transportation-related environmental emissions. A significant portion of our packaging materials is procured from within a 10-kilometre radius of our manufacturing facilities, enabling us to prioritise proximity and substantially reduce our carbon footprint. Through these localisation initiatives, we invest in local development, promote sustainable practices, and uphold the stringent quality standards fundamental to our business.
Regular audits are conducted to assess the value chain performance, including on-site factory visits to evaluate suppliers. During FY 2024-25, we conducted supplier audits for 28 suppliers. To evaluate our supplier partners, we consider several parameters such as quality and process control, statutory compliance, sustainability initiatives, documentation and data controls, health and safety measures, material handling/ storage, human rights, and fair-trade practices.
Building a sustainable supply chain
Proactive engagement with our supply chain partners remains a cornerstone of our Sustainable Supply Chain strategy. In FY 24-25, we launched a Sustainable Supply Chain Programme in collaboration with a third-party partner. This initiative is designed to foster close collaboration with our suppliers in advancing our sustainability objectives. Through this programme, we have conducted comprehensive training and awareness sessions for our suppliers on key ESG parameters, including climate change, GHG Inventorisation, and initiatives to mitigate environmental impact. By promoting such collaboration and knowledge sharing, we are committed to building a Sustainable Supply Chain that aligns with our core values and contributes to the development of a responsible and ethical business ecosystem.
