This year, the firm rolled out a new policy that ensures that when buying products and services, Allens takes into account the environmental, ethical and social credentials of the suppliers, in addition to the factors of cost, quality and convenience. Now, all Australian offices must, when purchasing a product or service, consider all matters covered in the policy, and ensure that all current and prospective suppliers are given the opportunity to complete the supplier questionnaire that enables the firm to monitor their sustainable and ethical practices.
Footprint Committee members and Fairtrade talk about the importance of the firm's Sustainable Procurement Policy.
