Our Sourcing & Procurement Policy9
1. Encourage Re-newal
To source raw materials, products and solutions which create a positive Ecological (including Carbon) and
Water Footprint legacy on all forms of diversity and Biodiversity.
Foster Re-generation
(“Take, “Make”, “Dispose”) to a more circular Economy (Re-Store, Re-New and Re-Use). Today’s Goods are
Tomorrow’s Resources: To source raw materials and products which contribute towards moving from the
Linear Economy.
Promote Re-storation
A Living World has no Waste. To carefully consider what we purchase, purchasing only what we really need
and not only what we want.
Stimulate In-novation
We don’t just qualify the raw material and actual product of our suppliers.
We encourage Responsible Enterprising and Innovative practices that stimulate the Re-designing of our future,
where we move from “Cradle to Grave” towards “Cradle to Cradle” in efficient, productive and renewable ways.
Local-ism
Localism is about building communities that are more healthy and balanced – backed by local economies that
are stronger and more resilient. It means we use regional resources to meet our needs. It recognizes that not
one of us can do it alone & that we’re all better off, when we’re all better off.
Create Prosperity
Responsible sourcing is deep rooted in the “local, local” knowledge of the place and culture. We source
globally and where possible, manufacture closer to the point of purchase. To ensure the raw materials and
products we source all meet and where possible exceed Ethical & Fair Labour and Trade standards & criteria.
Enhance Wellbeing
We aren’t in the business of promoting raw materials and products. Instead we demonstrate how the raw
material and product is an integral part of a Responsible and healthy lifestyle where People, Planet and Profit
all matter.
To ensure all sourcing and procurement decisions contribute towards enhancing the Gross organisational
Happiness and Wellbeing Index (People, Planet and Profit).
