Our Value Chain

OUR VALUE CHAIN

Our value chain illustrates how value is created across each stage of our operations, from sourcing and manufacturing to distribution and end-of-life.

Upstream
Our value chain across Upstream (Tier 5 and Tier 4 Raw Resource Creation; Tier 3 Fibre and Chemical Production; Tier 2 Fabric and Trim Manufacturing), Own Operations (Product Design and Development, Cut-Make-Trim (CMT), Assembly and Finishing, Quality Packaging and Dispatch) and Downstream (End-use and End-of-life; Logistics and Distribution), with key enablers and stakeholders — employees, contract workers, manufacturing assets and community — and material topics, risks, opportunities and impacts mapped to each stage by core or secondary relevance.
