Supply Chain Advice Pack: Applying Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion
Introduction
Procurement is a critical area where EDI can be embedded to drive meaningful change across the retrofit supply chain. Inclusive procurement practices involve engaging a diverse range of suppliers, supporting SMEs, and ensuring that all contractors align with the organisation’s EDI values.
This pack provides practical guidance on embedding Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) principles into procurement processes within retrofit projects. Procurement is a powerful lever for driving social value and creating inclusive supply chains. By adopting fair and transparent practices, organisations can ensure that suppliers reflect their EDI commitments and contribute to wider community benefits. PAS 2035 is a key retrofit standard, often used on grant funded schemes and working well with the public is essential for all retrofit projects.
