Rialto’s sourcing practices advocate environmentally and socially responsible purchasing to minimise environmental impacts. The Green Procurement Policy promotes the concept of life cycle costing, avoidance of hazardous materials, and low embodied energy materials. It covers the purchase of packaging materials, raw materials, maintenance consumables, fuels, building /construction materials, and office consumables.
Rialto’s Green Procurement Process is fine-tuned to meet the requirements of its Design for Environment policy. It focuses on increasing the recycled content in raw materials, eliminating chemicals of concern, and increasing the use of biodegradable materials.
Efforts are made to increase the percentage of local purchases to ensure stock management and to reduce its Scope 3 impact due to inbound transportation.
