Commitment 9

To develop your sustainability plan go through the actions for each commitment, figure out where you need to start, and make a plan!

Actions to get started: Make sure you understand your supply chain and explore where you can move to more sustainable options, supporting local businesses and minimising waste.
✓	Complete an audit to understand your supply chain from a social and environmental perspective.
✓	Set targets for improvement, focusing on supporting local suppliers and minimising waste and packaging.
✓	Work with your suppliers to ensure they clearly understand your expectations of their products and packaging.
✓	Develop a sustainable procurement/purchasing policy including the sourcing of goods locally, where possible.
✓	Talk about your aim to achieve a sustainable supply chain, including telling stories about the great work your suppliers are doing.
Actions for doing more: Once you have the basics sorted, consider how you can collaborate with others to create and embed sustainable supply chains for all products and services that we, and others, use.
✓	Actively work with your supply chain and other businesses where appropriate, to ensure a totally sustainable supply chain.
