90.0% of new suppliers onboarded by central procurement have signed our Fair Labor & Ethics Codes of Conduct, including 100% of Menzies, Tristar and GCC Services’ new suppliers. In 2023, around 67% of our procurement for goods, services, or materials for Agility Corporate, ALP, GCS, MRC, and the Shipa companies was spent with suppliers that agreed to adhere to our new sustainable procurement requirements. 25% of this spend was with key suppliers, including vendors which provide major components such as steel, lighting, slab on grade, and dock levellers.
Sustainability is integrated into the Agility Corporate procurement process during requests for information, requests for proposals, award notifications, and contracts. The Corporate procurement team services Agility Corporate, ALP, Shipa companies, and others.
We strengthened our sustainable procurement efforts in 2023, embedding sustainability requirements into supplier contracts managed by the Corporate procurement team. Any supplier awarded Agility Corporate’s business must abide by these requirements, including minimum standards on topics such as business ethics, human rights, working hours and wages, health and safety, and compliance with environmental regulations. We now require all potential and current suppliers to comply with our Supplier Code of Conduct, Human Rights Policy, and Supplier Fair Labor Code of Conduct throughout the tendering, award, and contracting phases. Starting in 2024, 100% of new supplier contracts will include our sustainable procurement requirements — this includes all procurements for Agility Corporate, ALP, GCS, MRC, and the Shipa companies.
