Long-term, stable supplier relationships create the conditions for investment in innovation and decarbonisation. A partnership with Speedy Hire, for example, has seen Amey replace petrol and diesel-powered equipment with electric alternatives – a major step forward when it comes to reducing emissions.

For John, this is what procurement with purpose looks like in practice: a strategic function that drives business growth, enables innovation and creates positive impact.
