However, as part of our growth strategy, we aimed to demonstrate our ability to meet the stringent require- ments of the CCS frameworks. It’s a challenging task given the scrutiny of public funds, but quality is as highly valued as price these days, and we are determined to integrate sustainability into our core operations.
“We’re very excited about the opportunities this presents, recognising the public sector’s dedication to modernising systems and bridging the gap with the pri- vate sector. Our focus on sustainability resonates with the changing landscape, assuring the public sector that they are dealing with suppliers committed to ethical practices and excellence.”
