Policies and Standards

Our policies and standards, along with our Code, provide practical guidance and help ensure that all our employees and everyone who comes into contact with our company live our values and do the right thing.

We have high expectations of our partners, our stakeholders and our suppliers. We support our procurement process by communicating standards to our suppliers through our responsible sourcing programme, which covers a broad range of topics including payment practices, social and environmental compliance including modern slavery.

We take great care to treat our suppliers fairly and to collaborate to drive high standards, maximise opportunities and minimise risk across our supply chain. You can find our key policies below.

Standards for our suppliers, T&Cs and Our Code

Reliable and responsible supply chains are essential for serving our customers and supporting strong communities. We take great care to treat our suppliers fairly and collaborate to drive high standards of business conduct to maximise opportunities and minimise risk across our supply chain. We interact with suppliers in many ways such as tender and bid processes, surveys, site inspections and events. These interactions cover a broad range of topics such as payment practices, ways of working as well as strengthening social and environmental compliance which includes modern slavery. We support our procurement process by communicating standards to our suppliers through our responsible sourcing programme. See more on our Supplier Portal.
