In 2024, Nutrition Supplies Services made significant progress in enhancing the sustainability of its supply chain. The company increased the proportion of raw materials purchased from suppliers with sustainability certifications from 89.8% in 2023 to 98%, surpassing its milestone target by 8%. This achievement reflects a strong commitment to responsible sourcing and continuous improvement.
To support this progress, the company completed three key initiatives during the year. These included a comprehensive market review to identify new certified suppliers, a supplier review to assess current partners’ sustainability credentials, and ongoing engagement to encourage certification adoption. These actions helped ensure that supplier practices align with Nutrition Supplies Services’ sustainability goals.
The supplier review process was particularly impactful, enabling the company to evaluate supplier performance against environmental and ethical standards. By prioritising certified suppliers, Nutrition Supplies Services not only strengthens its own sustainability profile but also drives positive change across its broader supply network.
