Our vision
We will use our purchasing power through our supply chains to ensure all our commercial partners share our determination to make a lasting difference in all our activities.

What we are doing
Supply chain management is a constant, rigorous and rewarding process: commercial benefits do not sit in isolation – there are other shared, long-term rewards by encouraging suppliers to fully engage with our businesses.

This engagement can extend to shared training and development opportunities; the ready exchange of best practice and the shared pursuit of sustainable materials and products.

We are working with suppliers to understand the impact of our demands through the length of the supply chain: Are we fully aware of the impact on raw materials, the manner in which they are sourced and the extent to which there is genuine sustainability?

These are ongoing, rewarding challenges where we seek to build constructive relationships with like-minded partners reluctant to accept the status quo.
