At L&T, sustainability is integral to our operations, extending to our extensive global supply chain. We recognise that a sustainable supply chain not only mitigates environmental and social impacts but also enhances resilience, ensures business continuity, and boosts competitiveness.
We are dedicated to promoting sustainability across our supply chain partners, including vendors, contractors, service providers, and distributors. Our Sustainable Supply Chain Policy and Code of Conduct guide our partners in implementing processes and management systems that uphold environmental stewardship, social responsibility, and ethical governance. We encourage continuous improvement and adherence to these principles to collectively contribute to a sustainable and resilient future.
To ensure compliance and foster sustainability, we conduct assessments of our supply chain partners. These evaluations cover environment management and impact, labour management and human rights practices, health and safety standards, ethics and governance policies. Utilising structured questionnaires and supporting documentation, we gain insights into our partners' sustainability practices and identify areas for enhancement.
Understanding the importance of knowledge and awareness, we organise training sessions for our supply chain partners. These programmes cover sustainability fundamentals, emerging regulatory landscapes, Business Responsibility and Sustainability Reporting (BRSR) principles, and L&T's approach to integrating sustainability within the supply chain. By equipping our partners with this knowledge, we prepare them for upcoming requirements and collaborative sustainability efforts. In the last 2 years we have held 7 training sessions with participation from more than 500 companies.
Our approach to sustainability is collaborative, working alongside our partners to drive innovation and implement sustainable practices. By fostering strong relationships and sharing best practices, we aim to create a supply chain that is not only efficient and resilient, but also responsible and forward-thinking. At L&T, we believe that through collective action and shared commitment, we can build a sustainable supply chain that contributes positively to the environment, society, and the economy.
