Sustainable Procurement Policy

We will challenge the need for consumption of goods and services and promote recycling and reusing materials wherever possible. The costs/benefits of environmentally-preferable goods and services as alternatives will be considered, where possible taking the total cost ownership (including environmental factors) into account in the procurement decision. This may incorporate gathering environmental management data on goods and services including CO2 emissions.

Westmead Containers will determine the environmental and corporate risks to the business in developing a sustainable supply chain whilst being committed to working with our supplier base. This may include identifying commodities and suppliers which share Westmead Containers’s sustainable procurement programme and working with suppliers to reduce the environmental impacts of goods and services provided. We are also committed to ensuring that Westmead Containers’s procurement policy complies at all times with its legal and regulatory requirement in relation to Health and Safety, Equality and Diversity.
