“Significant Suppliers” means organizations that are generally under contract and constitute a significant portion of total operating spend, that are difficult to replace without significant effort, as they are relied upon to provide essential goods and/or services to Fast Printing, and organizations that pose the highest level of social, environmental or economic risk.
These KPIs will be reviewed periodically to ensure their continued relevance, as measures of suppliers’ sustainability performance mature and evolvement.
Considering changes in legislation and organizational developments in sustainability best practice, this Policy will be regularly reviewed or at a minimum, every two years.
