Supply Chain Management plays a critical role in developing, implementing and managing supply chain solutions that support the delivery of our business objectives.
Our supply chain has been externally recognised through CIPS Platinum Corporate Certification Standard and ISO44001 accreditations. A significant part of these accreditations is grounded in the effectiveness of our supplier relationships – an ethos that we are committed to maintaining.
Strategy
Our strategy is built around five strategic themes:
Building supply chain collaborations and strong external relationships
Working in partnership with the business
Driving value and innovation across the supply chain
Having appropriate and aligned supply chain processes
Building and consistently apply capability
Building for the Future
Our operating model and organisation have been designed to enable our end-to-end supply chain to respond to the increasingly demanding challenges of the market in which we operate.
External relationships are critical to our ability to deliver for our customers and we are organised to enable strong industry alignment through our Category Management and Strategic Partnership teams.
