Statement of support by the Chief Executive Officer (CEO)
I am pleased to confirm Brambles’ continued support of the Ten Principles of the United Nations Global Compact in the areas of Human Rights, Labour, Environment and Anti-Corruption. Brambles became a signatory to the United Nations Global Compact in June 2013.
Brambles’ 2025 sustainability vision sets challenging aspirations and reflects the sentiments of our key stakeholders. We aim to restore nature, to tackle climate change and create shared social value. Brambles will pioneer a truly regenerative supply chain by not only restoring and replenishing the resources we require but also creating more positive impacts beyond our business for the benefit of future generations. In this way, we aim to be the company delivering the supply chains the world needs now and into the future.
In this annual Communication on Progress, we describe our actions to integrate the Global Compact and its principles into our business strategy, culture and daily operations. We also commit to share this information with our stakeholders through our website and our annual Sustainability Review (which is posted in that section).
Yours sincerely,
Graham Chipchase
Chief Executive Officer
