Supply Chain Transparency

Supply Chain Transparency and Social Responsibility at ANZHAP

At ANZHAP, we understand the significant impact our business has on social and environmental issues, both locally and globally. We believe it’s not enough to simply be profitable—we must also be responsible. We are committed to promoting fair working conditions, ethical practices, and environmental sustainability across our entire supply chain.

Our Commitment to Human Rights and Ethical Practices

ANZHAP supports internationally recognized human rights and strives to avoid complicity in human rights abuses. Our values are rooted in integrity, fairness, and respect for people and the planet. These core values guide every decision we make in business:

  • Act with integrity
  • Be truthful
  • Honour our commitments
  • Treat people with dignity and respect
  • Foster positive relationships
  • Protect the environment
  • Strive for excellence

These values are reflected in our Global Business Standards, which govern both our internal practices and how we engage with customers, suppliers, and other stakeholders. Our employees receive training on these standards, and adherence to them is part of our annual performance review. We also maintain an Integrity Line for employees to report concerns anonymously, managed by an independent third party.

Ethical Sourcing and Supplier Standards

We are committed to doing business with suppliers who share our vision for sustainability and ethical responsibility. Our ANZHAP Supplier Code of Conduct outlines our expectations for suppliers regarding social and environmental responsibility. This includes providing a safe, healthy, and fair workplace for their employees, in compliance with local laws and regulations. We encourage our suppliers to implement best practices to improve environmental and social conditions, wherever possible.

Key requirements for our suppliers include:

  • Compliance with applicable laws and regulations
  • Ethical labor practices, including a strict prohibition on child labor and forced labor
  • Sustainable environmental practices
  • Safe and fair working conditions for all employees

We select suppliers based on factors such as quality, innovation, technical competence, and their commitment to our corporate responsibility goals.

Monitoring and Compliance

To ensure compliance with our ethical standards, we apply a risk-based approach to supplier selection and monitoring. This includes:

  • Written certification from suppliers confirming they comply with our Supplier Code of Conduct
  • On-site visits to assess compliance, sometimes with third-party verification
  • Regular risk assessments and monitoring of suppliers' practices

If any supplier is found to be in violation of our standards, such as using child or forced labor, we will require immediate corrective action. If the issue is not resolved, we will discontinue the business relationship.

Ongoing Efforts and Training

Although we do not currently have a specific training program for human trafficking and slavery, we train employees who manage supply chain relationships on our Supplier Code of Conduct. To date, we have not encountered any known instances of human trafficking or slavery within our supply chain. If such cases arise, they will be handled on a case-by-case basis, with appropriate corrective actions.

Our Approach to Social Responsibility

We are committed to continuous improvement in managing the social responsibility expectations of our supply chain. Our efforts include:

  • Employee and supplier education
  • Regular risk assessments
  • Ongoing verification and monitoring of supplier practices
  • Clear reporting systems for issues
  • A formal escalation and governance procedure to address concerns

By working together with our suppliers, we aim to build a transparent, ethical, and sustainable supply chain that supports our mission and values.
