“There was no doubt that Achilles was the right choice to enable us to meet those standards across the sectors in which we operate including rail, construction and utilities. Achilles multi-disciplined approach to supplier validation and unique ability to physically inspect workplaces, and confidentially speak with individuals who may be subject to unethical employment practices or human rights violations will play a significant role in supporting us to deliver our environment and ethical business goals.”
