Our operations and supply chain
We actively engage with small to medium and large suppliers locally, regionally, and nationally and review the environmental and human impacts of our day-to-day operations and supply chains. In 2021 alone, we sourced goods and services from over 2,500 suppliers, predominantly supplying goods and services within Australia.
