Our Supply Chain forms a significant part of Banner’s economic, social, and environmental footprint. With a wide range of products and suppliers, as well as a diverse customer base across the UK, sustainable and ethical procurement is essential for effective supply chain management.
Banner is committed to ensuring a strong and diverse supply base, collaborating with our suppliers to drive innovation in products, packaging and delivery.
In order to meet the challenges and demands of the supply chain, it is crucial for our colleagues to be agile and adaptable. Our commitment to Responsible Procurement is essential in guiding our relationships and purchasing decisions.
The themes within our Supply Chain pillar will continue to promote a wider range of sustainable products, improved packaging and enhanced supplier compliance through audits and regular reviews to ensure adherence to our code of conduct.
As evo takes significant steps to achieving our Carbon Neutral by 2035 target, we have committed to Truline being carbon neutral by 2027 through offsetting.
Truline's fleet of 450 vehicles now all meet low emission zone targets, with the latest electric vehicles and charge points strategically placed. Additionally, the implementation of our advanced vehicle monitoring system is now live, allowing us to maximise the efficiency of our delivery routes.
Banner is committed to delivering responsibly to our customers and being transparent in our decarbonisation activities as they progress.
Ensuring a clean and well-mapped supply chain is crucial to us. As we expand our portfolio of suppliers and products, we prioritise risk management and maintain the highest standards of human and labour rights.
Banner is committed to assessing suppliers for their adherence to our Code of Conduct and Conditions of Purchase. Additionally, we will challenge them to commit to their own Social Value Action Plans, promoting positive change throughout the Supply Chain.
Banner achieved a Silver Sustainability EcoVadis status, ranking us highly among all the companies evaluated throughout 2023.
We constantly strive for improvement and excellence. By utilising EcoVadis, a third-party sustainability assessment platform, we gain valuable insights into our sustainability performance within our operations and supply chain. This enables us to benchmark ourselves and identify areas for improvement.
Banner accomplished a 91% positive score on a recent Modern Slavery Assessment (MSAT) for the Public Sector. During the assessment, various aspects of the business are evaluated, including our risk identification and management, governance, policies, and due diligence.
A significant amount of hard work and effort goes into achieving these positive results, along with gathering all the necessary documentation, which is made possible by our dedicated teams.
Banner is committed to eradicating modern slavery throughout its supply chains, in line with our disclosure obligations under the Modern Slavery Act 2015.
All our suppliers must adhere to our Anti-Slavery Policy, which is integrated into their contracts with Banner. Our contracting process includes specific prohibitions against the use of forced, compulsory or trafficked labour, or anyone held in slavery or servitude, whether adults or children. It is mandatory for all suppliers to sign this commitment, which is contractually binding.
Sustainability is at the heart of Banner’s decision making. Through clear product labelling, we empower our customers to make informed choices that align with their sustainability goals.
We are continuously expanding and innovating our sustainable product selection to ensure social, ethical and environmental criteria are met across as many products as possible. Our aim is to provide our customers with the widest choice whilst enhancing social impact.
