Collaborate with your significant suppliers on sustainability
Work together with your significant suppliers that have indicated their willingness to improve their sustainability performance. Look to establish a collaborative approach, as this can encourage them to adopt more sustainable practices, and will help you to agree achievable sustainability targets that are mutually beneficial. You can then use these to monitor their sustainability performance over time.
This approach helps to improve communication, and can prevent strained relationships from developing, reducing resistance to change and preventing missed opportunities for improvement.
Overall, this approach can significantly boost sustainability outcomes for both your setting and its significant suppliers. They will be able to promote their sustainability commitments, enhancing their organisation's image. It will also future-proof them to meet regulatory requirements, reducing risks. For your setting, it will reduce your carbon footprint, and can create cost efficiencies as a result of implementing sustainable practices which are passed onto you as a customer.
A cooperative approach also enables joint problem-solving and long-term planning. It ensures you can work together to find solutions, such as alternative products and improved or consolidated delivery schedules, reducing the likelihood of sudden shortages at your setting.
