U.N. Global Compact and TRSA Supplier Partners

As TRSA linen, uniform and facility services member operators supply CSR-conscious customers, these accounts may require these members to report their CSR practices. These practices include not only these operators’ CSR-related strategies and tactics, but those of partners who supply them. To enable such suppliers to attest to their CSR, TRSA’s Supplier Partner Council Board of Directors approved the November 2021 distribution of a checklist of principles of the U.N.
