Procurement

We expect both our suppliers and our contractors to be able to demonstrate good ethical working practices, including sound sustainability and human resources practices and discuss with them initiatives to reduce or recycle waste.

Where our refurbishment projects are concerned we expect potential suppliers to demonstrate that their produce and methods of manufacture are as environmentally sound as they can be.

We like them to specify the raw materials used in manufacturing their products and to show how those products can be recycled once they have completed their useful life. This approach was adopted in a recent refurbishment project in our London office.
