SafeSupplier offers a robust, streamlined, consistent and effective supplier on-boarding and management solution, that demonstrates supplier compliance to regulatory requirements, international standards and industry best practice in the supply chain. Climalife’s application for SafeSupplier verification was driven by the desire to demonstrate the highest standards in health and safety, quality, ethical best practices and responsible growth.
Gemma Archibald, director of Alcumus SafeSupplier said: “Major organisations simply cannot afford to run the risk of employing suppliers who are not able to prove that they have sound health and safety, quality, ethical best practice and responsible growth policies in place.”
More companies need to understand the importance of adopting good risk management in the way that Climalife has done. Climalife’s high standard has set an example which hopefully will be followed by other companies within the sector. SafeSupplier plays a vital role in supporting their clients in meeting their compliance needs, whilst working with their suppliers as they progress through the verification process.
Allan Harper, managing director of Climalife UK said: When one of our customers requested that we become accredited with Safe Supplier, we were quick to act and become a verified member. This helps the customer ensure that our processes have been externally verified and helps them to raise standards within their supply chain. The other benefit is now that other customers can see we are Safe Supplier approved and can therefore reduce the amount of work involved in checking and verifying us as a supplier before setting up an account with us.”
