It is not only our own actions that impact the world and the people in it, but also the actions of the organisations we partner with and the ones we support.
Supply chain
Group suppliers provide 91% of building materials and must meet our wider corporate standards. Their credentials, including policies, targets and positions, are assessed during procurement and we collaborate to ensure we jointly achieve our sustainability and responsible sourcing goals. Our supply chain assessment is an ongoing process to ensure all suppliers align with our targets.
Codes of Conduct
Our code of conduct informs and guides our suppliers and subcontractors to ensure they meet our standards.
We have introduced a portal which includes the Code and provides supporting materials to ensure everyone we work with believes in our purpose and recognises A Better Place.
A partnership approach to working with landowners
We focus on building open, transparent relationships with our landowner partners to support clear and effective communication. Our aim is to create viable, sustainable developments that deliver connected communities and leave a lasting legacy for future generations.
This open and transparent partnership approach informs every aspect of our interaction with landowners and their agents, from initial negotiation of terms right through to purchase.
Our approach to securing an interest in land is flexible. We listen to a landowner’s requirements and react accordingly, with sites secured through a variety of land agreements, including freehold purchase, option agreements, joint ventures, promotional agreement or a hybrid agreement.
Communication is the key to success. We pride ourselves on positive two-way interaction with our landowner partners, local communities and local authorities throughout the complete development process.
