OUR POLICY: SUSTAINABLE PROCUREMENT

可持續采購政策

To deliver quality and value to our customers, Wilkinsons must seek out the products our customers want at a price they can afford from sources around the globe. At the same time, sourcing products in a responsible wayis central to our values and vision. So we will work to ensure that our purchases will not damage or disadvantage those who produce them and have the lowest possible impacts on the environment.

We will, as a minimum, meet legislative and regulatory requirements whilst aiming to adopt best practice relating to sustainable procurement. We will encourage our suppliers, business partners and contractors to recognise and respond to any negative impacts their products and services might have on society and the environment.

Our approach

We aim to operate to high levels of sustainable procurement by:

? Developing policies, procedures and guidance that will help ensure our products and services            

are ethically sourced, with appropriate levels of packaging, and advise on how to use, discard

and recycle in an environmentally and socially responsible manner

? Setting clear objectives and targets to help us address key issues such as product packaging

? Implementing a responsible sourcing strategy

We are committed to:

? Profi table yet sustainable products that benefi t our customers, make our team members proud

  to offer, and minimise environmental impacts

? Giving our buyers all the information they need to make informed and responsible purchasing decisions

? Working in partnership with existing and potential suppliers and business partners to investigate and

  introduce more sustainable products and services
