We hold ourselves and our suppliers to the highest standards of integrity, ethics and responsible business conduct. We seek to partner with suppliers that share our values and work collaboratively with them to build a resilient, diverse and sustainable supply chain.
Our objective is to develop greater visibility over our supply chain and enhance our ability to measure and monitor sustainability, diversity and responsible sourcing practices. This enables us to identify opportunities for improvement, engage constructively with suppliers and track progress against our goals over time.
We are committed to being a trusted and valued partner, making it straightforward for suppliers to do business with us. All suppliers complete an onboarding process that includes authentication, modern slavery, IR35 and GDPR compliance checks, together with acknowledgement of our Code of Conduct.
Suppliers are categorised to help us better understand our supply chain, identify those best placed to support our sustainability and diversity objectives, and focus our engagement where it can have the greatest impact. This foundation strengthens our ability to analyse supplier data, assess risks and opportunities, drive continuous improvement and provide transparent reporting on our progress.
