Our Sustainability Policy
Driven by our Quaker values, our purchase of good and services is ethical and sustainable. We respect workers and the environment.
Our aims are:
- That the purchase of good and services are delivered under conditions that should not involve the abuse or exploitation of any persons and have the least negative impact on the environment.
- To use our purchasing power, where practicable, to influence and encourage suppliers in order to create a more reliable market for environmentally and ethically produced products and services.
- To ensure environmental and social factors are considered in the purchasing process. Specifically this includes considering what the product is made from, the product durability, where it is made and by whom, the efficiency of the product during use and the processes involved in its production and distribution, what the disposal requirements are and if it can be reused or recycled.
