Us and our suppliers

Because it is only by working closely with our people and suppliers that we will be able to embed corporate responsibility within all levels of our business and throughout our supply chain.

26% of the 152 people we employ at our Head Office volunteered during company time in 2007/08.

In 2007 we continued to work with our suppliers to help ensure the safety of the 1,950 people who worked on our construction sites. In 2007/08 we reduced the reportable accident rate by 57% to 0.19.

150 members of the Eastgate Shopping Centre team and occupiers have received environmental training, encouraging them to adopt energy saving practices at home and at work.

In 2007 we spent over £416 million on procurement with over 3,500 suppliers, either directly for us or for our occupiers.

 

"We aim to treat our suppliers and staff as members of a single team who work together to ensure the success of our business and delivery of service to our customers.

In 2007 we introduced a Service Charge Procurement Policy and continued to offer our teams appropriate development opportunities.

We hope you enjoy finding out about our progress to date and our future plans. We welcome your feedback."
