Supply chain sustainability is central to building a resilient, responsible and future-ready business. We recognise suppliers as critical partners in value creation and work closely with them to ensure alignment with our values, ethical standards and ESG commitments. Our sourcing approach prioritises local and inclusive procurement, with materials sourced largely within India and from MSMEs, strengthening domestic value chains and supporting inclusive economic growth. A Supplier Code of Conduct, aligned with the UN Global Compact, sets clear expectations on human rights, labour practices, environmental responsibility and ethical conduct.
To manage ESG risks, we have implemented a structured supplier evaluation and risk assessment programme covering onboarding and periodic reassessment of significant suppliers. These assessments combine digital desk reviews with targeted on-site evaluations to identify ESG maturity, sector-specific risks and improvement opportunities. Suppliers are supported through corrective action plans and capacity-building initiatives, reinforcing transparency, continuous improvement and long-term supply chain resilience.
