Suppliers
We seek to create partnerships with suppliers based on compatible systems and principles.
An increasing proportion of the Group's supply base is retained in long-term relationships based on the compatibility of their values and behaviour as well as product quality and price. The Group has developed and implemented a "Supply Chain Environmental Risk and Impact Grading Tool" to assess supply chain risks.
Chairman’s and Chief Executive’s statement
In 2006, we were awarded the Quality in Construction prize for the best Corporate Responsibility programme in the industry. Such recognition is gratifying, but we remain determined to continue to make progress in all aspects of corporate responsibility.
