Responsible sourcing
Glanbia creates value for all stakeholders through responsible procurement. This involves sourcing products and services in an ethical, sustainable and socially conscious way.
We focus on ensuring and re-enforcing compliance with all applicable laws on anti-slavery and human trafficking requiring our suppliers to confirm acceptance and conformance with the relevant Glanbia policies.
In 2025, over 6,000 suppliers were risk assessed using the EcoVadis IQ Plus module, equating to in excess of 99% of our total spend. EcoVadis is a global trusted provider of business sustainability ratings.
2026 priorities
We will continue to drive greater awareness and understanding across our procurement teams of responsible sourcing practices, actively engaging with suppliers and applying responsible sourcing criteria to our supplier selection decisions.
US Dairy Net Zero Initiative
The US Dairy Net Zero Initiative (NZI) is an industry wide effort to accelerate on-farm sustainability on US dairy farms of all sizes and geographies. Glanbia will continue to participate in and support industry best practice programmes.
Responsible procurement
Our responsible procurement programme integrates sustainability into our procurement processes. Our Global Procurement Policy is reviewed and updated regularly taking into account changes relating to responsible procurement and ethical trading requirements.
Responsible sourcing & human rights
Our suppliers must be compliant with all human rights, labour and health and safety regulations. We monitor our supply chain for signs of slavery, human trafficking and other breaches of human rights, and encourage all our employees to speak up and report their concerns.
