The ESG-related indicators are included in the terms and conditions of the purchase order which the supplier needs to agree to and sign. Suppliers are periodically screened and trained, which helps build knowledge on best practices and latest developments. Supplier risk management measures The Group created customised risk mitigation plans to address specific risks identified during screening. These plans outline actionable steps and controls to minimise the potential impact of risks. Supplier engagement and collaboration: The Group encourages open dialogue and collaboration with suppliers to enhance transparency and alignment with sustainability objectives. This involves forging partnerships with suppliers to mitigate risks, exchange best practices, and promote enhancements. Continuous monitoring and evaluation: The Group established a robust monitoring and evaluation system to gauge supplier performance and adherence. This guarantees the effective management of identified risks and upholds suppliers to rigorous standards of sustainability and ethical practices. Capacity building: The Group provides valuable resources to suppliers, strengthening their capabilities in managing risks. This support encompasses educational programs, collaborative workshops, and knowledge sharing. The goal is to empower suppliers to take proactive steps in mitigating risks and enhancing performance. Self-assessments: The Group assesses the effectiveness of risk management measures and verify supplier compliance with sustainability standards. These reviews help identify areas for improvement and adjustment. Supply chain risk assessment The Adani Portfolio’s approach involves a meticulous examination of risks across dimensions. It evaluates region-specific risks, considering variables like political stability, adherence to legal standards, safeguarding of human rights, scrutiny of risks specific to industries, environmental implications and ethical practices and price fluctuations. Adani Wilmar: Supplier quality assurance The Adani Portfolio company engaged in an integrated site assessment matrix and incoming material compliance planner that helped assess development and changed at the supplier end. It focused on supplier quality, periodic planned site food safety and quality assessments. Adani Wilmar’s fleet decarbonisation The groundbreaking Rail Green Points (RGPs) scheme by Indian railways promotes environmental sustainability, energy efficiency and eco-friendliness. This visionary project aims to reduce carbon footprint. RGPs (emissions saving in CO 2 tonnes) are created on account of goods transportation by railways over road and estimated based on Net Tonne Kilometre (NTKM). Adani Wilmar earned 22,574 RGPs by opting for rail-based cargo transportation over road, reducing carbon emissions. Improvement plan Improvement areas were identified through screening and evaluation. The Group collaborates with suppliers to enhance sustainability. It organises informative sessions in the area of safety, sustainability, human resources and industrial relations. It tracked the corrective measures and consistent communication (follow-ups and performance assessments). It encouraged suppliers, irrespective of assessment outcomes, to formulate improvements and potential optimisation. Grievance redressal for suppliers The Group provides a transparent grievance management system for suppliers. Suppliers can interact one-on-one with Adani representatives or directly approach supervisors or the HR team to escalate complaints.
