Supply Chain Partnership

Shaw Trust has received the highest possible rating of ‘outstanding’ in the new Supply Chain Partnership Standard.

We’re the first to be accredited under this updated national benchmark, which replaces the Merlin Standard. The new framework sets a high bar for excellence in supply chain management, recognising organisations that work in true partnership, operate transparently, and deliver social value.

On issuing the accreditation, Richard Adkins, Systems and Finance Director, from awarding body Assessment Services Ltd, said:

“Shaw Trust has set the bar high for organisations engaging with the new Standard. Their Outstanding result demonstrates what can be achieved when organisations embed partnership working and accountability at every level,”

This result reflects our long-standing commitment to building an impactful supply chain with partners who share our values. Our local partners play an important role, helping us reach into communities, tailor our offer to local needs and embed delivery into existing services.

A huge thank you to everyone who supported the process, and to all our supply chain partners who help us deliver impact every day.
