Pioneering Sustainability In Procurement

Delivering more using less

Concern for environmental issues is likely to become ever more intense in years to come, and it’s a concern that we share. We fully support the concept of a circular economy, where resources remain in use for as long as possible to extract maximum value with minimum waste. 

Importantly, we’re adapting our own working methods and choosing more sustainable options wherever we can. In our business, we’re reducing our carbon footprint and reducing waste in our offices, stores, vehicles and working patterns. 

We recognise that we can also have a significant impact by influencing our partners, suppliers and customers. 

And underpinning our commitment to help our customers work more sustainably are two key initiatives – EcoBuy, which is about delivering more, but using less, and Energy Surplus, which helps energy businesses to buy and sell surplus materials and equipment.

Energysurplus
Reduce, Reuse and Recycle

EnergySurplus helps our customers to cut waste and save on raw materials by enabling them to realise the value tied up in surplus stock. EnergySurplus is a collaboration platform where customer can trade surplus stock to reduce storage costs and recoup some of the original investment. We have worked with major Oil & Gas companies to develop the platform and to ensure it is tailored to the needs of the industry. 

The platform facilitates interaction between companies by communicating offers and counter offers between buyers and sellers up to acceptance or rejection. Surplus stock items are uploaded via a set template (csv), items are categorised and fully searchable, additional item documentation can be requested/uploaded during the buying/selling collaboration process. The platform currently covers a range of energy equipment but can be used for any industry.
