Sustainable supply chain

We know our procurement decisions and supply chain impact people, communities and the environment, now and in the future.

As part of our commitments under the Social Partnership and Public Procurement Act 2023, we've launched our Socially Responsible Procurement Objectives. They'll shape our approach to social value in procurement and contract management. They're designed to build a sustainable, connected transport network that benefits future generations.

The objectives are closely aligned to and support our Wellbeing Objectives under the Wellbeing of Future Generations Act.
