Sustainable Procurement
We ensure our suppliers have the same values and standards as us.
It’s vital that everything we do has a meaningful impact on society, so we work hard to make sure our suppliers follow the same high standards that we expect of ourselves. It’s our responsibility to ensure integrity and transparency in our supply chains, and to manage risk through robust processes and systems.
Three is at the start of its sustainability journey. And we’re making great strides to embed these ethical principles into our procurement process.
Supply chain risk
There are many risks associated with a communication and technology supply chain, including forced labour, conflict minerals, health and safety, and climate change. We’re making sure that new and existing suppliers are consistently making the right choices, and managing these risks effectively.
Our Expectations
We want the ultimate transparency when it comes to our suppliers’ ESG practices and financial stability.
So, we’ve partnered with Dun & Bradstreet to conduct a review of our supply chain partners. All of our suppliers will be rated and the results will be integrated into our supplier qualification process.
Shared values
We’ll only partner with organisations who have the same values as us. And this Supplier Code Of Conduct sets out the minimum standards of behaviour and practices that we expect from our suppliers.
We use the Code of Conduct’s principles when forming new business relationships, and we monitor how suppliers live up to these principles throughout the life of each contract.
Modern Slavery
We’re fully committed to preventing acts of modern slavery and human trafficking from happening within our business and supply chain. Our modern slavery statement sets out the steps we have taken during the last financial year to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our business.
