Strategic objective:
To further develop responsible supply chain management practices.
We are committed to working with companies that have a similar commitment to sustainability. We recognise the opportunity we have to make a positive impact through our purchasing decisions and supply chain management.
Working with Suppliers
We have formulated a sustainable procurement strategy which includes a review of the procurement practices within our supply chain, with the aim of developing a sustainable procurement policy.
Initiatives
Some supply chain initiatives undertaken throughout the 2011 financial year include
- > The introduction of a new range of guest amenities in the Sea Temple, Quay West, Sebel and Citigate brand hotels. ERP™ is an exclusive range of guest amenities designed to be biodegradable in landfill conditions
- > We have also continued our supply partnerships with:
- – SCA, hygiene and paper supplier. Sustainability is an integral part of SCA's operations and products. Mirvac purchases the Tork range of certified sanitary paper products across all divisions of the Mirvac Group; and
- – Corporate Express, market leaders in sustainability. Mirvac is working closely with Corporate Express to introduce more of its Earth Saver products across our business divisions.
Looking Forward
Some of our key actions for 2012 are:
- > Complete a survey of Mirvac's producers and suppliers to identify best practice
- > Develop a responsible procurement policy and 'in practice' guidelines
- > Identify and promote Mirvac preferred product suppliers internally and incentivise other suppliers to raise performance
