Practicing sustainable procurement
At Allstate, procurement decisions are aligned with shareholder expectations and compliance requirements. By understanding how suppliers manage ethical business practices and climate action, we're able to increase the confidence of stakeholders who depend on Allstate's performance and ability to mitigate supply chain risks.
Our approach to sustainable procurement
Suppliers doing business with Allstate shall adhere to the practices defined in our Supplier Code of Business Conduct. Our sustainable procurement expectations are also reflected in our contractual language, which holds suppliers accountable for their sustainability performance and actions.
Embedding sustainability considerations into our procurement decisions increases the confidence of stakeholders who depend on Allstate's performance and ability to mitigate supply chain risks.
The key elements of Allstate's Sustainable Procurement Program include:
- Mitigating sustainability risks in our supply chain by aligning procurement decisions with sustainability considerations for long-term value creation.
- Integrating sustainability criteria into our procurement processes, systems, policies and decision-making, including supplier selection, contract negotiations and supplier performance assessments.
- Measuring, managing, and reporting on suppliers' sustainability performance and impact, increasing visibility and transparency in our supply chain.
We strive to align our sustainable procurement activities and strategies globally across the various geographic regions where we do business.
Human rights
Allstate respects individual human rights and insists that our business partners do the same. Our commitments are highlighted in our Modern Slavery Act Transparency Statement.
CDP Supply Chain
Allstate is committed to navigating climate risk by making our supply chain more sustainable. We are a member of CDP Supply Chain, formerly the Carbon Disclosure Project, which is a global environmental disclosure platform that enables our procurement team to measure and manage our suppliers' environmental impact and performance. If invited by Allstate to participate, we expect our suppliers to disclose their environmental data via the annual CDP questionnaire.
