Sustainable Procurement Policy
Centriforce Products Ltd recognises its role in protecting communities and the environment now and for the future. We are therefore committed to understanding and managing the environmental, economic, and social impacts of our operations through the delivery of sustainable solutions. This Policy seeks to embed the consideration of social, environmental, and economic impacts as factors in decisions made by staff and our partners. Centriforce will strive to:
• Encourage and engage suppliers to develop a proactive approach to sustainability issues and deliver sustainable solutions.
• Work in partnership and support our suppliers to continually improve our collective sustainability performance.
• Identify and review the sustainability risks and impacts of the products and services we procure.
• Embed sustainability within tender documents by ensuring these are a proportionate part of the assessment criteria for significant impact procurements.
• Develop processes that enable local and regional businesses, small and medium sized enterprises to be part of our supply chain.
• Undertake training and develop practical tools to increase knowledge and understanding.
• Be ethical in our business practices in dealing with our supply chain.
• Consider and evaluate whole-life costs prior to purchase, where appropriate.
• Look to minimize the use of energy and natural resources and maximise the use of renewable energy sources.
• Use and dispose of goods in an environmentally responsible way, including considering reducing, substituting, reusing and recycling sustainable options.
• Work with our suppliers to achieve zero safety incidents on all the projects that we deliver.
We recognise that improving our procurement performance is an ongoing process and that our suppliers are important partners in our aim to become more sustainable.
We expect our suppliers to work collaboratively and be supportive of our approach to continually improve performance, through the selection of sustainable products and solutions, innovative thinking and the employment of best practice to meet our objectives and targets by agreeing to our ESG Code of Conduct for Suppliers.
