What we do

Our supply chain is a valued part of all our projects. Together, we work collaboratively to deliver on our goal of world-class infrastructure and ensure everyone on our sites goes home safely.

We hold our supply chain to a high standard. It is our policy to procure goods and services competitively, ethically, sustainably and efficiently in accordance with all relevant laws, regulations and licenses. There is a minimum requirement that our supply chain partners must meet to join our network. Our five values are integral to our actions, and we expect our supply chain partners to adhere to those same values. You can find more information on these standards, and how to join our supply chain, in the FAQs section further down the page.

Additionally, we expect all partners to adhere to our Terms and Conditions, Code of Conduct and Anti-Slavery statement. Copies of these documents can be found here:

Supply Chain Sustainability School

The Supply Chain Sustainability School aims to educate and inspire change through building the sustainability skills of the supply chain by delivering online resources, workshops, webinars and events. They also aim to influence by liaising with academic institutions, researching, lobbying local and central government and publishing white papers.

As a partner in the School, we’re able to collaborate with the vast majority of the other Tier 1 construction companies in the UK, to share knowledge, promote the progressive approach to sustainability and drive positive change across the industry, and these resources are available to all our colleagues and supply chain partners.
