Transparency
Being open and honest about successes and challenges helps us build stakeholders’ trust in our supply chain social and environmental responsibility (SER) program. We were the first in our sector to publish a list of our suppliers, and we continue to do so. We also publish our audit results at a regional as well as global level, and we regularly invite independent experts to provide perspectives on our supply chain SER program, which we include in this report.
