Local business Bartoline Limted has been awarded verification from Alcumus SafeSupplier for demonstrating their ethical, environmental and financial credentials, to help clients assess compliance within their supply chain.
SafeSupplier offers a robust, streamlined, consistent and effective supplier on-boarding and management solution, that demonstrates supplier compliance to regulatory requirements, international standards and industry best practice in the supply chain.
Employing around 100 people, Bartoline is principally involved in the home improvement sector, specialising in the decorating sundries, fillers and adhesives industries. Bartoline supplies the leading UK DIY multiples such as B&Q, Homebase, and Wickes, leading retailers such as Wilkinson and B&M and trade decorating centres and builders merchants. The company’s application for SafeSupplier verification was driven by the desire to demonstrate the highest standards in health and safety, quality, ethical best practices and responsible growth.
Gemma Archibald, Director of Alcumus SafeSupplier said: “Major organisations simply cannot afford to run the risk of employing suppliers who are not able to prove that they have sound health and safety, quality, ethical best practice and responsible growth policies in place.”
“More companies need to understand the importance of adopting good risk management in the way that Bartoline has done. The firm’s high standard has set an example which hopefully will be followed by other companies within the sector. SafeSupplier plays a vital role in supporting our clients in meeting their compliance needs, whilst working with their suppliers as they progress through the verification process.”
