Enterprise development

Encouraging enterprise development in our value chains
Background

The reach and scale of our business means that we play a key role in the economic development of the communities in which we operate. Across our value chains, we seek to balance the commercial advantages associated with our scale with the benefits of supporting local communities.

Our response

Where it makes sense, we source locally in order to reduce our import and distribution costs and maximise local economic benefit.  We also aim to work closely with both local and global suppliers and ask them to adhere to our responsible sourcing principles.
