Environmental & Sustainable Procurement Policy
At Newby Leisure Limited, our approach to sustainable procurement is based on a whole-life-cycle perspective. We recognise the importance of understanding and reducing the environmental impact of our supply chains while delivering long-term value for our customers, communities, and the environment.
A sustainable future is something all businesses should be working towards, and Newby Leisure is committed to supporting this by:
• Using procurement to deliver sustainable outcomes.
• Focusing on sustainable supply rather than simply sustainable suppliers.
• Managing demand responsibly.
• Embedding sustainability into our procurement practices.
• Encouraging innovation and continuous improvement throughout our supply chain.
This approach enables us to meet our requirements for goods, services, works, and utilities in a way that achieves value for money throughout the life of a product. It also helps generate wider benefits for society and the local economy while minimising environmental impact wherever possible.
Many sustainability benefits can be achieved through early engagement with suppliers before the procurement process begins. Equally important is our approach to supplier selection, the inclusion of relevant and proportionate sustainability requirements within specifications, the evaluation of environmental considerations during procurement, and effective contract management throughout the supplier relationship.
Responsible Timber Sourcing
As part of our commitment to responsible sourcing, we use FSC® certified timber across our product range wherever possible.
FSC® (Forest Stewardship Council®) certification is an internationally recognised system that promotes responsible forest management. FSC® certified products may contain material from responsibly managed forests, recycled materials, and other controlled sources.
By choosing FSC® certified timber, we help support:
• Responsible forest management.
• Protection of wildlife habitats and biodiversity.
• Sustainable harvesting practices.
• Greater supply chain traceability.
• Long-term environmental stewardship.
Where FSC® certified timber is used, this will be clearly identified within the relevant product specifications and descriptions.
Newby Leisure remains committed to continually improving the sustainability of our products and supply chain, helping to ensure that responsible sourcing remains at the heart of our business.
