DO THE RIGHT THING - SOCIAL VALUE IS A BIG DEAL
A network of small contractors is low cost, yet a big part of the machine that keeps the business running. And it’s a living thing, constantly changing, as new contractors are recruited and existing ones fail or choose to leave. But there’s a balance here. Businesses understand that, advantageous as a large supplier network is, a diverse pool of small contractors also brings degrees of risk. Inevitably, the more links there are in a chain, the greater the likelihood that not all will be strong.
Our new guide, provides key insights to help you:
- Nurture relationships with smaller contractors to help them understand the role they play in safe working practices, ESG and social value
- Show contractors you are serious about safety and ESG and bring them on a shared journey with you
- Meet your social value requirements by sourcing local contractors and evidence your supply chain is operating safely and ethically
