Tiered Supplier Framework

Our goal will be to strategically shift our purchasing toward Tier 1 Vendors. By doing so, we aim to increase our investment in suppliers who align with Whitestone’s sustainability objectives, enhancing our impact on environmental and social responsibility.

We will start measuring current orders with each supplier and setting targets for improvement to ensure that more of our spend is directed to Tier 1 suppliers over time, promoting a sustainable future across all business operations.
