Codes & Practices

Ethical Sourcing Code

As one of Australia's leading retailers and employers, we are committed to the communities in which we live and operate and to ensure we integrate good corporate behaviour in every aspect of our operations. Our values and behaviours provide a framework for how we do business, and to ensure our supplier relationships are both commercially and ethically responsible.

We are committed to the safe and ethical manufacture and supply of services and goods. The ESC sets out minimum requirements and expectations that all vendors, including sub-contractors engaged by vendors, must meet in order to do business with us.
