Ethical Supply & Sourcing

Integrity Behind Every Partnership

At McRollin & Company Ltd, we believe that ethics is not just a service we deliver — it’s how we operate internally. Our commitment to anti-corruption, ESG compliance, and inclusive growth starts with the way we choose, evaluate, and engage our suppliers.

From wardrobe partners to institute vendors, technology providers to research collaborators — every partner we work with reflects our purpose: to build a transparent, responsible, and sustainable consulting ecosystem.

Our Ethical Sourcing Principles

We apply a structured due diligence process to all supplier relationships. Every vendor, contractor, or collaborator is expected to meet the following core standards:

Legal & Reputational Integrity

  • No history of corruption charges or fraud

  • Transparent ownership structures

  • Tax and regulatory compliance in home jurisdictions

ESG Alignment

  • Demonstrated environmental responsibility (materials, emissions, circularity)

  • Inclusive employment practices (gender equity, fair labor, no forced work)

  • Documented commitment to governance transparency

Local Empowerment & SME Support

  • Priority sourcing from African and global-South SMEs

  • Partnerships that promote artisan economies, youth employment, and local innovation

Transparency in Pricing & Procurement

  • No opaque markups or undisclosed intermediaries

  • Clear and fair contract terms

  • Willingness to disclose sourcing methods upon request
