Supporting communities

Long-term engagement beyond the factory gate

Our work extends beyond our direct operations into the communities connected to our sourcing regions.

We support initiatives that strengthen livelihoods, improve resilience and contribute to more sustainable supply chains – often in close collaboration with partners and local stakeholders.

 
Allan Hider
Global Director, People & Organisational Performance
Real progress comes from combining clear expectations with long-term engagement – and working closely with the people behind our supply chains.

Working across complex realities

Improving conditions for people in global supply chains requires more than policies and commitments. It involves addressing local challenges, building trust and maintaining long-term partnerships.

Progress depends on collaboration, transparency and the ability to continuously adapt how risks are identified and managed.
