Collaboration with suppliers
ºÚÁÏÍø´óÊÂ¼Ç has taken steps to understand the Environmental, Social, Modern Slavery and Governance risks posed by our supply chain. As such, ºÚÁÏÍø´óʼǒs supply chain risk ‘hotspots’ have been identified and prioritized as part of our risk-based approach to more sustainable procurement.
ºÚÁÏÍø´óʼǒs own commitments towards collaboration, as well the expectations we have of our suppliers are outlined in ºÚÁÏÍø´óʼǒs Supplier Charter. If you would like more information on the application of these commitments, please contact jasmin.r.lewis@unsw.edu.au.
