People & working conditions
Responsible sourcing includes attention to recruitment, freedom of movement, working conditions and access to help. Concerns deserve careful review rather than assumptions based on a supplier’s location or size.
Product & operational safety
Product specifications and safety information need to reach the people handling, transporting and using materials. A supplier-issued Safety Data Sheet should match the exact product and applicable market.
Environment & transparency
Environmental statements should define their scope and supporting evidence. Documenting assumptions and limitations makes project comparisons more useful and avoids overstating outcomes.
