As an asset-light company, almost everything we do involves sourcing products or services from other companies, which means most of our impacts occur within our supply chain. Because of that, we recognize that building strong, transparent relationships throughout our supply chain is critical.

In 2023, we became members of SEDEX (The Supplier Ethical Data Exchange) to demonstrate our commitment to sourcing responsibly. We require that our active co-manufacturers be audited by SEDEX (The Supplier Ethical Data Exchange) for specified social and environmental metrics.

Strong Supplier Relationships​

We conduct ESG supplier surveys across our supply chain. This includes data requests regarding emissions, water, waste, and ongoing efforts for improvement across all of these areas. With key suppliers, we deepen our knowledge through conversations and site visits that allow us to gain a better understanding of their specified efforts and initiatives. ESG data request requirements have been added to our co-manufacturer contracts to ensure BellRing has access to this data.

ESG considerations are also taken into account when selecting North American co-manufacturing partners and are part of BellRing’s RFP process.

Sustainable Sourcing Framework ​

Our Sustainable Sourcing Framework highlights the key principles of our procurement practices regarding ESG topics. This includes how we think about sustainable sourcing (our values) as well as specific areas we’re focused on for data collection and tracking.
