Supply Chain Management
Shaw manufactures many of our own products and ingredient materials, employing efficient use of materials and natural resources, using alternative and renewable energy sources when possible, and designing and operating our facilities and manufacturing processes in accordance with widely recognized sustainability and safety standards.
We also rely upon strategic supplier partnerships to ensure we can offer our customers an expansive portfolio of products. We work with trusted partners to fulfill a variety of business operations from temporary staffing to machine parts. These 4,300-plus suppliers are critical to our operations and serve as an extension of our sustainability strategy so we expect these suppliers to maintain the same high standards that we set for ourselves. Shaw verifies that our products, regardless of where or by whom they are manufactured, meet stringent guidelines and our customers’ expectations so we can minimize our impact on the planet and maximize human potential.
Shaw is a signatory to the UN Global Compact,a widely recognized set of principles focused on upholding and protecting human rights, labor, environment and anti-corruption standards. Since 2018, our sustainable sourcing policy has incorporated the
Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact, as well as Cradle to Cradle design principles — bringing even greater transparency into our supply chain by requiring disclosures about the ingredients that go into the products we make and sell.
