Purpose-driven sustainability

We believe that contributing to a sustainable humanitarian supply chain is a way of honoring our purpose as relief supplier. We see purpose-driven sustainability as our contribution towards social, environmental as well as economic progress.

With a record high number of displaced people worldwide caused by conflict and natural disasters, millions of relief items were distributed to the affected populations in 2017-2018. Many of us are unaware of the production effort it takes to address these emergencies, and how responding to crises does not exempt the humanitarian sector from its social and environmental impact on the planet. This year we have turned inwards to take a critical look at our sector, and have further invested in the sustainability of our manufacturing processes and supply chain, prioritizing transparency.

Aiming for the Global Compact advanced level

We aim to improve policy implementation and increase transparency to achieve the GC Advanced Level in the next reporting period. This aims to create a higher standard for corporate sustainability performance and disclosure based on the Blueprint for Corporate Sustainability Leadership and the UN Global Compact Management Model.
