MyAV·¶

MyAV·¶ follows The Responsible Procurement Code; an external self-assessment verification scheme to demonstrate we manage the environmental, social & economic impacts of our procurement and supply-chain.

What is responsible procurement?

We define responsible procurement as: " the process whereby environmental, social and financial impacts of all of MyAV·¶'s procurement processes are taken into account, making sure to reduce negative impacts and enhance positive impacts."

The code reviews our progress in 5 key areas:

2. People;
3. Procurement Process;
4. Supply Chain;
5. Measurement.

MyAV·¶'s RPC audit is delivered by the consultancy firm Anthesis. They conducted a 1-day audit, where external experts viewed evidence and analysed a sample of MyAV·¶'s contracts and contract management documents. These elements are scored against bronze to platinum criteria.
