BlueScope formally commenced our responsible sourcing journey in 2018 with the launch of our Responsible Sourcing Standard which was followed in 2019 by our Supplier Code of Conduct. Since then our responsible sourcing program has evolved to include collaborating with key suppliers to understand their ESG risks and working with them to implement improvements, partnering with EcoVadis and ELEVATE on supplier assessments, and continuously improving our program in line with the evolving global landscape.

In 2022 we implemented our Responsible Sourcing Policy and we have now updated our Supplier Code of Conduct to reflect increased global requirements, our own ESG progress and our customers' and stakeholders' expectations.
