G4S
Although squarely focused right now on the UK & I , Willescroft and his team are acutely mindful of G4S ’ s global net-zero targets , which is why it has relationships with companies similar to LeasePlan across its territories .
“ We ' ve got partners in each market that we ' ll look to lean on in the same way when the time comes ,” he explains . “ We ' ll look to leverage our experience in the UK , so we ' re not recreating it each time we ' re using the playbook .”
On the broader question of sustainability Willescroft says he has “ strong , top-down sponsorship from the board , whether it be net-zero , diversity , or human-rights risks - sustainabilityustainability is about far more than net-zero .”
With sustainability and ESG initiatives , Willescroft says embedding is key . “ How do we do that ? By making sure that , at a functional level , ESG and sustainability are a core part of how we are measured and how our objectives are measured . This way , everything flows all the way down to individual objectives .”
“ Over the coming year , everyone has targeted individual measures that are not only around commercial delivery , but are also really clear on ESG and sustainability objectives . This means sustainability topics are standing-agenda items every time we engage with the business . Every time we sit down and review performance with the business units or talk about sourcing , deals , or supply management performance , then sustainability is a core part of that .”
Only by constantly talking about sustainability and ESG does Willescroft believe you can fully embed them into a business . supplychaindigital . com 43
