STRATEGY FOR SUSTAINABILITY

Overview

Our business and planning processes are built around sustainability.

Future challenges include climate change, biodiversity loss, human rights violations, and poverty. We strive for the long-term growth that our stakeholders, consumers, and community anticipate. Our plan is in line with international sustainable development goals, with three essential pillars: environment, social, and governance.

Sustainability of the supply chain

We collaborate with our customers and suppliers to improve the supply chain's sustainability performance.

We bring the entire supply chain together, developing tailored end-to-end supply chain and logistics solutions for global brands and retailers. We design, source, and supply a varied range of products to our global consumers through a network of manufacturers and distributors in numerous production countries

Risk and compliance management

We manage supply chain risk through a risk assessment and strategic decision-making process in which we direct and build business with suppliers who have more capabilities and lower risks, while assisting other suppliers to improve their performance.

The Global Clubs Supplier Code of Conduct is the starting point for assessing supplier risk. This is our supplier engagement document, and it outlines the minimum standards required for human and labour rights, safety, the environment, and security, as well as transparency and ethics, in accordance with the ILO's Core Conventions, the California Transparency in Supply Chains Act, the UK Modern Slavery Act, and local laws. As a condition of doing business with us, all suppliers must accept these minimal criteria.

Global Clubs, as well as external audit companies approved by us or our clients, and/or independent industry organisations, assess compliance with the Code of Conduct. Depending on our customers' needs, audits may be unannounced, semi-announced, or announced. Adding our appointed third-party audit companies' talents and resources to our own has expanded our insight into our supplier chain. Simultaneously, we are building a better and more consistent methodology in our auditing programme by organising joint training sessions with our third-party auditors on a regular basis.

The following sections detail key aspects of our factory interaction, monitoring, and services.

Increasing the performance of sustainability

We are committed to embedding sustainability into our operations alongside our customers, suppliers, and industry partners to solve the difficulties of developing a more responsible supply chain in the face of global supply chain disruptions.

The determination of global clubs to safeguard historic and endangered woodlands

Protecting our forests and responsibly managing our environmental footprint as we try to prevent global climate change is important to our sustainability plan. Global Clubs is dedicated to using its convening capacity to work with stakeholders along the supply chain to make our sector more ecologically and socially responsible, as well as more sustainable. We can better safeguard our forests through responsible resource acquisition and consumption, responsible material sourcing and product manufacturing, and responsible product shipping to our customers.

Utilising 3D design to reduce waste

Accelerating the incorporation of virtual design and sample into our sourcing processes is vital to modernising our supply chain in order to meet our priorities of speed, innovation, and digitalization. Not only do these advances allow us to quickly communicate concepts, perfect designs, pick materials, and fine-tune product features, but they also help us avoid environmental consequences from travel and transit and reduce waste from sample and product production. We have introduced virtual design and sample to important customers and look forward to expanding this innovative, efficient, and environmentally friendly sourcing solution in the future.

Cooperation with industry

We understand the power of collaboration to effect change in the industry. We participate in industry initiatives that bring together our customers and industry partners to impact change. Our collaborative efforts are centred on the implementation of programmes that address the difficulties of our sector and the individual production countries in which we operate.

We work with our industry partners to implement a variety of initiatives aimed at addressing specific health and safety, labour, and environmental issues in the supply chain, as well as educating and empowering workers, resulting in a more socially inclusive business, all with the goal of improving sustainability performance.

Our people are the driving force behind our company, and we are dedicated to their well-being and development.

Activating our workforce

At Global Clubs, engagement is a key initiative. It is about involving our workers in celebrating and supporting our inclusive and varied global workforce, as well as connecting, appreciating, and encouraging one another to grow. We think that connecting via sincere participation fosters an entrepreneurial and respectful environment, creating long-term dedication to the organisation.

Improving Wellbeing

Our people's health, safety, and well-being are highly important to us, and they lead us in ensuring that they feel protected and respected, and that they can apply their finest skills at work. We feel that this promotes workplace performance and benefits our employees both personally and professionally.

Recruiting and nurturing talent

Attracting and nurturing the best skills and talent is critical to the growth of our company. We feel that fostering a strong learning culture is critical to our company's long-term success. We also provide our employees opportunity to learn and grow through a number of programmes that focus on increasing their knowledge, skills, and organisational capabilities.

Keeping track of our environmental impacts

We run our activities properly in order to decrease our impact and promote awareness in order to champion change.

Environmental Concerns We encourage our employees to consider how they may reduce their environmental impact in their daily lives, and we help them by reducing our consumption and waste, as well as growing our procurement of things with sustainable qualities.

Design that is environmentally friendly Integrating sustainability features into the design, construction, and renovation of our buildings is critical to decreasing our carbon footprint and ensuring a healthy, safe, and visually pleasant working environment for our people.

Resource administration Energy, water, and raw materials are critical inputs into our industry. We are dedicated to utilising resources wisely and efficiently, as well as reducing waste generation within our own operations.
