We procure goods and services in a responsible manner that considers ESG efforts and impacts of the suppliers during selection and/or contract renewal. This means prioritising working with suppliers who fulfil and outperform in the following areas:

• Full compliance with principles and provisions under Link’s Supplier Code of Conduct
• Adopt internationally recognised management systems related to sustainability
• Have sustainability policies and procedures in place and provide training to their staff

Where practical, we prioritise procuring goods that are:

• Durable and reusable
• Energy and water-efficient​
• Recyclable and/or have high recyclable content
• Wood and paper products from well-managed sources, e.g., Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC)
• Chemical products that minimise environmental and health and safety hazards, e.g., low volatile organic compound (VOC) paints and adhesives
• Locally/regionally produced materials where available
