To our stakeholders:
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.
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).
