Principles
Our procurement decisions are guided by whole-life value, not lowest price alone. We consider environmental impact, human rights, health and safety, community benefit and business ethics alongside cost, quality and delivery.
Local Sourcing
Wherever possible we prioritise local and regional suppliers to strengthen host-country economies, reduce transport emissions and build resilient supply chains — while maintaining quality, safety and compliance standards.
Supplier Expectations
Suppliers working with RCI are expected to:
- Comply with all applicable laws, including labour, environmental and anti-corruption regulations
- Uphold internationally recognised human rights
- Provide safe and healthy working conditions
- Minimise environmental impact through efficient use of resources and responsible waste management
- Cascade equivalent standards down their own supply chains
Monitoring
Supplier performance is monitored through pre-qualification, contract management reviews and periodic audits. Non-compliance is addressed through corrective action plans and, where necessary, disengagement.
