WHAT IS YOUR ORGANISATION DOING AROUND ESG ? BN : At Accenture , we believe responsible business is integral to the future of our planet . We have a target to be net zero by 2025 .
On protecting human rights in the supply chain , we work by the ten principles of the United Nations ' Global Compact , a global movement of sustainable companies and stakeholders . We communicate these supplier standards to all key suppliers .
On supplier diversity , our target is to develop 250 businesses globally by the end of 2023 .
CL : Oxfam ’ s mission is to overcome poverty through trade , and we have environmental and carbon targets mainly around our shops and our offices . We have 600 shops in the UK . Our supply chain is mostly donated goods , but we also have our own product range . We also look very closely at the environmental and social impact of what we are buying .
On inequality , we strive to drive ESG through our own research on business & human rights , and on human rights & supply chains . Often , businesses tell us that they know what they need to do on ESG but that they need help doing it , and that ’ s our role at Oxfam Advisory Service . RB : VDart has 3,700 employees spread across 11 countries , so we have a pretty large global footprint . I would say that , from around 2020 , ESG has become a primary focus and a key business imperative – and Accenture has helped here with its Diverse Supplier Development Programme . They are mentoring us on our ESG journey and helping us achieve competitive
