We aim to continuously develop and improve our procedures as far as possible. However, we will not do this at the cost of others. Therefore, we actively seek to avoid exploitation in our operations. Our buying policy gives priority to suppliers with ethical practices. We actively screen suppliers and impose stringent ethical terms as part of our contract of purchase (see terms of purchase Terms and Conditions of Purchase ) In our social interaction with the business community we operate and depend upon, we aim to fulfil our duty to society by supporting appropriate charities and acting with a social responsibility wherever possible.
