The sustainability roadmap of the Group encompasses a much wider footprint than the Group itself. Being a substantial buyer, URW is aware of the importance of driving industry standards and works on integrating sustainability further in its supply chain. Given the size of its portfolio, the Group works with a large number of suppliers and contractors, and ensures it is not exposed to the risk of depending on only a few strategic suppliers. The Group has designed a Responsible Procurement Roadmap and performed a mapping of sustainability risks in its supply chain in 2021. URW became a signatory to the UNGC in 2004, thus committing to adopting, upholding and enacting within its sphere of influence the 10 universally recognised principles relating to human rights, labour laws, environmental protection and anti-corruption. In addition to this, URW annually issues a Modern Slavery Statement and has a Responsible Purchasing Charter and a Human Rights Policy covering its interactions with suppliers.
