THE WITHAM WAY
A Message from Nigel R Bottom - Managing Director Witham Group:
“Witham Group are committed to being a responsible business. Our people are our biggest asset and Witham is committed to creating a positive and empowering work environment in which all employees feel valued for the work they do and the impact they make.
Everything we do is underpinned by the five principles of our business, or core values. We call these ‘THE WITHAM WAY’. In practice, each core value relates to the way our own business operates, how we treat our colleagues, customers, suppliers and contacts. These cornerstones are the key fundamentals that make up our business.
In addition, our aim is to always operate within a climate of excellence and to the highest standards of ethical and professional behaviour. Our relationships with our suppliers are critical to successful performance.
Trust is and always has been at the heart of how we do business at Witham Group. Our Code of Conduct is not just about following law and regulation, it is about doing the right thing, even when no one is watching. It is a non-negotiable standard of behaviour which is expected from all of us and is designed to protect customers, our business and our brand. It is fundamental for our customers and colleagues that we operate in a supply chain that is free from corruption, where human rights are respected and protected and where we treat our suppliers fairly and without duress.
Our customers need to know that our products are safe, that we care about the impact that we have on the environment and that we will never mislead them in our pricing or advertising. Our Code of Conduct therefore outlines our minimum standards for how we should all conduct ourselves, to meet and exceed these expectations.
Our Business Code of Conduct sets out behaviours that we expect of suppliers who are delivering services on to and on behalf of Witham Group. In selecting suppliers, Witham Group performs checks that are in line with procurement regulations that guarantee fair access to opportunities for all suppliers and equal treatment during selection processes. In addition, Witham Group suppliers are expected, when delivering services, information or goods, to act in a manner that is compatible with Witham Group’s Core Values."
