These focus on areas such as working conditions of our people and those at our suppliers, the way we engage in local communities and wider environmental and sustainable business practices promoted by the EICC. We are fully committed to EICC's vision and mission as well as the responsible business practices it promotes."
"This membership supports our long-term sustainability initiative to better serve our clients by providing the most up-to-date and sustainable supply chain solutions," said Mr. Casey.
