Our suppliers

We are working with our suppliers to reduce our overall carbon emissions.

We encourage our suppliers to promote sustainability by identifying ‘environmental performance’ as a key factor in our procurement processes. Our strategy is to:

• Harness the capability, diversity and innovation of our supply base, encouraging solutions with reduced environmental impact
• Include energy consumption and ‘whole life’ environmental impact as mandatory criteria in judging tenders
• Ensure that replacement products and services consume less energy and have less environmental impact than their predecessors
