"When we were offered the opportunity to participate in the Supply Chain Improvement Programme (SCIP), we considered it as a great opportunity to upskill our colleagues in procurement but also changing some perceptions given the on-going business challenge to demonstrate value through our supply chain. The knowledge and expertise of the trainers both from and CIPS, equipped our commercial, supply chain and procurement colleagues with the most up to date academic learning and best practise. Most importantly, it instanced that value cannot only be defined in terms of cost but has a number of forms in which can be demonstrated. At business level, it allowed our function to update the procurement process and introduce concepts in the supplier relationship and performance management. Overall, the programme was a big learning curve both for our colleagues and our business and this would not have been possible without the collaborative effort of all parties involved."
"Action Sustainability worked with British Land to understand better the sustainability risks within their supply chain. Over a period of 5 years we have worked with key stakeholders and suppliers to develop a robust methodology for assessing and addressing these sustainability risks and documented this approach in their Supply Chain Charter. A document that is now recognised as best practice across the industry."
