Fair Dealing & Fair Payment
We believe strong partnerships start with trust. That’s why we guarantee transparent processes, respectful negotiations, and prompt payments – helping suppliers thrive and maintain healthy cash flow.

Ethical Sourcing
Every decision matters. We source from suppliers who uphold human rights, protect the environment, and operate with integrity. This means avoiding exploitative practices and prioritizing materials and services that meet high ethical standards.

Supply Chain Engagement
Sustainability is a shared journey. We collaborate closely with our suppliers to drive innovation, share knowledge, and support continuous improvement. Through training and engagement, we help partners meet evolving sustainability expectations.

Alignment with ISO 20400
Our procurement framework is aligned with ISO 20400, the global standard for sustainable procurement. This ensures that sustainability principles are embedded in every decision – from risk management to supplier selection – creating long-term value for all stakeholders.

How we engage with our supply chain

We host multiple meet the buyer events every year, both independently and through our partnership with Constructiononline.
