Suppliers
As part of evaluating and selecting major suppliers of raw materials, services and products, suppliers are assessed against Orica’s SHEC performance standards. Examples include:
• Orica’s Yarwun sodium cyanide plant has a strict requirement that its suppliers use Plantation Certified timber for all wooden packaging requirements.
• A project has commenced in Indonesia to reduce the use of packaging, by eliminating bulk bags and replacing these where possible with bulk material shipped inside lined shipping containers.
• Bronson and Jacobs, a leading supplier to the food, nutrition, health and personal care
industries, is a member of the Roundtable of Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO). Palm oil suppliers are required to be members of RSPO and meet its requirements.
