Quote from Kathryn Gillard
Ethical procurement comes down to the decisions we make every day. That means giving our teams the knowledge, confidence and professional capability to make the right choices, even when the answer isn't always straightforward. This recognition reflects the work we've put into building that capability and making responsible procurement part of how we work.
