Help notes: SUPPLY CHAIN<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Does your organisation engage with its supply chain to encourage robust ways of working, in line with your own values?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This question is about considering your suppliers and how they operate. For example, their quality of work, how they treat their staff, consideration of the environment and compliance with regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Considering your supply chain\u2019s vision and values is important because these partners play a role in shaping the overall integrity, quality, and impact of your business. It can also save money in the longer term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Duchy of Cornwall are using this survey to reach out to their suppliers. You don\u2019t necessarily have to do the same, but the Duchy is keen to understand whether you consider these matters in your work.<\/p>\n\n\n

What is a ‘Yes’ for me?<\/strong><\/p>

<\/span>\n <\/div><\/div>
\n\n

A \u2018yes\u2019 means that your organisation thinks about how your suppliers\u2019 practices match up to your own values and you communicate with your suppliers about this. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You could, for example, consider which topics covered in this survey match up best to what is important to your organisation and focus on those. <\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Does this question apply to me? Is this a regulatory requirement?<\/strong><\/p>

<\/span>\n <\/div><\/div>
\n\n

This question applies to all suppliers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smaller organisations may simply bear these matters in mind, and have conversations with suppliers about them, whereas larger organisations are more likely to have policies and formal measures in place around this. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is not a regulatory\/ legal requirement.  <\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
