Supplier compliance audits

Business, value chain and regulatory context

Our approach to sustainability

Colleagues

We regularly seek feedback from employees through colleague engagement surveys carried out in our operating companies, with results being reviewed by management to agree focus areas for improvement and to plan learning and development activities.

Supply Chain

The Group’s Sourcing Compliance team works with c. 375 suppliers, representing over 700 factories, to identify areas where the Group can provide additional training and support to suppliers to ensure compliance with the standards set out in the Group’s Supplier Code of Conduct.

Stakeholder engagement

Stakeholder engagement is fundamental in guiding our overall strategy and approach to ESG topics. We have identified the following key stakeholder groups and aim to engage with them on a regular basis and to ensure open and transparent lines of communication.

Communities

Through our retail operating companies and our in-house sourcing function, PGS, we work with communities at a regional, national and local level in the countries in which we operate. We collaborate with international non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and support community projects to make a meaningful contribution to our local communities.

This year our community support through our Pepco operating company included working with SOS Children’s Villages and the Saint Nicholas Foundation, donating over €200k to each to support children fleeing the war in Ukraine.
