Costain Cares is our vision to build a long-term sustainable business that creates economic, environmental and social value. Our relationship with our supply chain is fundamental to this vision. We are committed to operating a collaborative, sustainable supply chain where our partners support us in delivering efficient, innovative and sustainable solutions. We apply scrutiny when procuring products and materials to ensure they are sourced or manufactured in a responsible and sustainable way, from accountable suppliers. Our procurement focuses on both local and UK suppliers. However, it is inevitable that the global market will be a contributor to the numerous components used to deliver our customers’ needs. Supply chain management We believe in engaging early with our supply chain. This begins at the work winning phase, as it demonstrates to our customers how we collaborate effectively to deliver the best possible solution for their project or scheme. To achieve this, we identify key strategic partners in various trades, material suppliers and services.

Since opening its doors in 2012, the Supply Chain Academy has welcomed around 600 attendees, all of whom have benefited from a structured programme of learning delivered by experts from both within our business and our strategic partners.
