A WEST Mercia Policing team won an award for the Best Net Zero Procurement Initiative at the Go Awards.
The award won by the Contracts and Procurement team recognises the collective commitment from both the force and the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner (OPCC) to embed social responsibility and Net Zero principles into the way contracts are procured and managed.
PCC Mr Campion said the success has been made possible through collaboration across a range of teams and partners within West Mercia Police and the OPCC, all working towards a shared vision of a more sustainable future.
More than 25 suppliers having committed to establishing carbon baselines and Net Zero targets, so helping drive tangible reductions in emissions while strengthening sustainability across the supply chain.
PCC John Campion said: “Guided by my Safer Communities Plan, we remain committed to building on this momentum, ensuring sustainability and social value continue to play a central role in how we serve our communities and deliver lasting positive change.
“I’d like to thank and congratulate everyone who’s contributed to this achievement.”
Director of Business Services Rachel Hartland Lane said: “This award is a testament to the dedication of colleagues across West Mercia Police who are ensuring sustainability is embedded into the way we work every day.
“By considering the environmental impact of our procurement decisions and working closely with our suppliers, we are reducing our carbon footprint while continuing to provide an efficient and effective service to the public.
“This recognition reflects the collaborative effort across the force and with the OPCC, and we remain committed to building on this success as we continue our journey towards Net Zero.”
