Our Supply Chain
Our supply chain partners form an important part of our business and play a key role in our continued success.
Working together collaboratively and building honest and open relationships is what being a part of our supply chain is all about.
Managing our supply chain
We want to build and maintain a supply chain that embodies our values and vision.
We follow a Customer of Choice strategy so we can manage our supply chain in a responsible and sustainable way and also make sure we have a selection of suppliers and subcontractors who not only perform well, but undertake their activities to the highest quality standards and safety expectations.
We believe in engaging with our suppliers and understanding how their business works
We aspire to develop long term successful working relationships
We welcome early involvement and a collaborative way of working
We realise listening to feedback adds value, whether it relates to our performance or yours
Customer of Choice
Our Customer of Choice strategy sets clear expectations of what our commitments are, as well as what we expect from our supply chain, so we can continue to deliver excellence to our customers.
It’s also how we structure our supply chain. Our tiered structure divides our suppliers and subcontractors into different groups depending on their performance, standards and suitability, as well as a number of other key factors. The categorisation of our supply chain is decided following a review and consultation process with relevant stakeholders across our business.
