Customers, team members and potential new hires are increasingly demanding products that are ethically sourced and made with sustainable materials. At WBA we are rising to this challenge and continuing to work with suppliers who share common principles of fair and honest business; demonstrate a commitment to maintaining safe working conditions; fully comply with all legal requirements; and comply with labor, health and safety standards in the countries where they and we operate. This means screening all suppliers and selecting partners that consider social and environmental factors.
We prioritize this responsible supplier engagement and sourcing practices through foundational standards, policies and core principles that govern our interactions.

Palm oil is the world’s most widely used vegetable oil with yields outperforming other vegetable oils due to its efficient land use. However, in some areas this crop and its production has been linked with environmental and human rights violations. Understanding its vital importance to many of our products and the need to ensure sustainable farming practices, Boots was one of the first retailers to join Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) in 2006. For the first time in calendar 2023, WBA submitted company-wide owned brand palm oil data for calendar 2022 as part of the RSPO annual reporting requirement.

Supporting the GSA allows us to help support women who harvest shea in Ghana and to give back to communities that work in the shea industry.
We are committed to working with suppliers to ensure wood pulp and paper materials used in products and packaging are not contributing to deforestation, ecosystem loss or illegal harvesting. Boots-owned brands and the No7 Beauty Company require all wood, pulp and paper materials come from verified recycled sources with at least 50% post-consumer content, or from responsibly managed forests.
Cotton wool has an immense environmental impact from water usage to biodiversity degradation. Starting in fiscal 2023 and moving forward, Boots will ensure all cotton wool products in owned-brand products are Global Organic Textiles Standard (GOTS) certified, meaning the crop is farmed without the use of toxic persistent pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. Additionally, in fiscal 2023, WBA strengthened our supply chain transparency approach for products containing cotton due to the ongoing risk
We engage with numerous organizations, competitors, trade associations and government entities to seek industry-wide solutions and take meaningful action toward sustainability. These engagements are crucial to WBA acting as an industry leader and continuing to drive the industry forward.
