Responsible Sourcing

SLR supports clients with responsible sourcing, helping them in identifying and managing ESG risks in their company’s supply chain to actively source products and services in an ethical, sustainable and socially conscious way, whilst leveraging opportunities to realise positive change.

Responsible Sourcing Overview

We do this, in part, through our group organisation, RCS. RCS works with companies at every stage of the supply chain to meet market and stakeholder expectations for ESG performance, responsible sourcing and responsible mining. We deliver practical solutions and generate key data points allowing our clients to improve practices, measure and demonstrate impact. Our clients access the results of our work through our technology platform, which supports our clients’ impact, compliance and sustainability reporting.
