Supply chain
A deeper understanding and ability to influence change in our multiple supply chains is becoming increasingly critical as we seek to manage risk and make progress on all aspects of ESG.
We have committed to ambitious Net Zero targets that align us with the UN’s critical global climate objectives and the ambition to limit global warming to 1.5°C.
Our unique engineering capabilities and pioneering spirit position Smiths strongly to support customers on their journeys to decarbonise and deliver next-generation efficient and sustainable infrastructure and processes.
Natural resources are finite, and we believe that all businesses have a responsibility to use them respectfully and safely – responsibly sourcing, minimising consumption and preventing pollution.
Our colleagues can do remarkable things. Their passion and expertise have driven our business forward for more than 170 years. It is critical that we have the talent we need to meet the demands of the future.
Our team of colleagues represents dozens of nations, speaking a multiplicity of languages, and embodying many different perspectives. We embrace these differences and promote actions and behaviours that will deliver an inclusive and supportive work environment where every member of the Smiths team feels that they belong and can be the best version of themselves.
We aim to improve our world by contributing positively to our communities and society in general.
Continual assessment and management of risks, and assurance through internal controls, is an integral part of day-to-day operations at Smiths.
Behaving ethically and with integrity is a fundamental part of our culture. We also operate in some highly regulated markets and sectors which require strict adherence to local and international industry regulations.
Good quality, ethical and effective decision-making builds sustainable businesses and enables them to create long-term value for all stakeholders.
