Importance of Suppliers:

“Suppliers provide businesses with products and services to run their operations. It is important for businesses to internalise CSR and demonstrate a extended chain of responsibility. After all, their reputation is at stake and so suppliers should be monitored and treated with respect.” (Jay Basil, 2017).
