Manufacturing is an important pillar of sustainability for Ansell. We operate 15 manufacturing facilities worldwide: our 3 largest are in Malaysia, Sri Lanka and Thailand, and we also have smaller plants in Brazil, China, Lithuania, Portugal and Vietnam. We’ve defined corporate manufacturing targets for energy, water and waste across all our plants.
To protect every Ansell worker, we continue to pursue initiatives and assess our progress via audits and key performance indicators. Initiatives include:
Operational employees suggesting safety improvements to mitigate near misses, unsafe conditions and unsafe acts
100% of direct suppliers meeting Ansell's labour, and health and safety standards, ensuring decent work for their workers by 2027*
*In-scope suppliers based on Ansell’s Supplier Management Framework
