Snippets

On one of her visits to China last year our Group Commercial Director took part directly in two full-day supplier audits, helping her to get a deeper understanding of the process and its limitations.
   
We organised a workshop for our UK suppliers with speakers and content supplied by the Government’s Envirowise programme. Over 30 supplier representatives attended, and were encouraged to look again at their own environmental standards. Speakers emphasised the cost savings and environmental benefits of cutting waste and energy consumption, and practical workshop sessions helped suppliers to plan their own improvement campaigns for their own factories. For our part, we believe that efficient, productive suppliers are good for our business, and – of course – that environmental improvements shouldn’t begin and end at the gates of our stores and warehouses.
