Developed to support UK-based designers, contractors, and procurement teams, the checklist provides clarity and structure to the process of building a trustworthy, transparent supply chain. Each point is paired with what to ask, what to look for, and how to verify – empowering you to make informed, evidence-based decisions that align with your project’s environmental and ethical goals.
