We work mainly with government departments or other regulated
industries that often have budgetary as well as regulatory or
political constraints that could significantly impact on our
contracts. We have a duty to ensure that our customers' money is
spent efficiently and contracts are managed effectively.
Our customers rely on us to manage a number of suppliers and
sub-contractors on their behalf. We need to ensure that the supply
chain for all our contracts adheres to our standards of ethical
behaviour, environmental and other working policies.
We are working with the Government on their Sustainable
Procurement initiative. As well as seeking to reduce CO² emissions
part of the initiative is focused on broader sustainable
procurement issues. As part of the MoD's performance review process
in 2009 we were required to complete the Sustainable Procurement
Flexible Framework.
We have appointed a Group Sustainable Procurement Manager to
introduce benchmarks and measure performance on a number of KPIs
related to this initiative as well as other supply chain issues.
Throughout 2010 we introduced a range of processes and measures to
ensure we met the Government's required standards, as well as those
of our other customers, to put us in a good position from which to
improve them.
