Sourcing4Good includes the status of our suppliers and materials and the levels of rigour and partnerships in place. There are four levels of supplier status, ranging from those just starting on their responsible sourcing journey to those involved in in-depth, transformational partnerships. This is meant to increase transparency, reduce risk and generate greater traceability and data. The four levels help us define the right level of supplier engagement, activities and efforts across our full portfolio of spend in naturals, synthetics and Indirect Materials & Services (IM&S). The four levels of Sourcing4Good Active level Our suppliers are made aware of responsible sourcing practices and expectations through our Responsible Sourcing Policy. Available on our website, this policy details the principles and standards that we require all of our suppliers to meet. Awareness of this policy is required for materials and services at the start of their 'sourced responsibly' journey. We have over 16,000 suppliers and we aim to engage all of them at this level. Our active suppliers are required to acknowledge and adhere to our Responsible Sourcing Policy and it applies to all our suppliers. It includes any primary producers of raw materials, suppliers of raw materials, intermediate materials, intermediary suppliers and service providers. The policy is applicable to all sites and workers and employees of any supplier (including permanent, temporary, contract agency and migrant workers), as well as sub-contractors, agents and subsidiaries. The policy contains overarching requirements that apply to all areas of the supply chain, as well as some specific requirements pertaining to naturals, synthetics and Indirect Materials & Services (IM&S) Suppliers, which provide more depth and clarity on certain topics. Our previous RS Policy has been sent to more than 14,000 of our raw material and Indirect Materials & Services (IM&S) suppliers. Since the update of the policy with the 2021 launch of the Sourcing4Good programme, we have sent this document to more than 2,170 raw material suppliers, representing 96% of the spend. We aim to reach our remaining active suppliers with the updated Responsible Sourcing Policy in 2022. We will continue this action in the years to come so that each new active supplier is included in this process. Engaged level At the engaged level of our Sourcing4Good programme, Our 2021 target was to engage the suppliers included in the top 80% of spend and/or defined as strategic by the procurement team. We reached all suppliers in scope this year and had an 89% response rate as of 31 December 2021.
