Our Strategic Procurement Programmes

EDEN

Our EDEN program sets the foundation of how we engage, develop, enhance and nurture our supply chain, focusing on core procurement activities, driving minimum standards, process, and benefits. These maximise the value delivered to support our journey towards procurement excellence across our full supply chain. 

As One

Our “As One” programme underpins our drive to increase operational standards across our sites. Aligning our approach to develop key strategic supply chain partnerships, our As One programme ensures we create a collaborative environment to drive business improvement and supply chain certainty with business-critical local and national partners. 

Supply Chain Social Value

Engaging our supply chain to support the positive contribution that we make in the delivery of positive social impact across the communities where we work is becoming increasingly important. Our Supply Chain Social Value programme is focused on developing relationships which increase social capital.
