HH Global partners with Support the Goals to educate suppliers
Supporting Global Goals in the supply chain
In 2021 HH Global partnered with Support the Goals, an initiative that recognizes the journeys of those businesses that are supporting the UN Sustainable Development Goals. In addition to providing recognition for the good work being done, Support the Goals provide resources and support to educate businesses about how the 17 UN Global Goals can help them tackle poverty, inequality, and climate change. The initial pilot extended to a selection of sixty HH Global suppliers, located across ten countries and four continents: US, Brazil, UK, Spain, Ireland, Belgium, Germany, Austria, Australia and New Zealand. HH Global can track their suppliers’ support for the SDGs using an interactive dashboard, with filters to view suppliers by rating, industry, geography, and goals supported. Following this successful pilot, an additional one hundred tier one suppliers will be evaluated by Support the Goals in H2 2022 as part of a more expansive supplier engagement initiative.
HH Global has always set very high standards for conducting business in a socially and environmentally responsible manner, with sound business ethics, and in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. HH Global is committed to ensuring that working conditions in its supply chain are safe, that workers are treated with respect and dignity, and that manufacturing processes are environmentally and socially responsible. In Spring 2020, the HH Global Supplier Code of Conduct was updated specifically to reference the UN SDGs and clearly define requirements with regards to environmental and social standards. The principles within the Code align to labor and human rights, environment, business ethics, and sustainable procurement. All suppliers are required to comply with this Code. In doing so their actions benefit a shared network of companies, clients, and communities.
