Suppliers must be committed to high environmental standards, recognising that the Authority’s activities may change the way people use and rely on the environment, or may affect or be affected by environmental conditions. Suppliers must demonstrate they have taken sufficient steps to protect the local environment and community they work in, and to identify environmental risks that are imminent, significant or could cause harm or reputational damage to the Authority. Suppliers must implement due diligence processes to provide assurance that UK Government funding is not used in any way that contravenes the provisions of applicable terrorism legislation. Safeguarding, social responsibility and respect for human rights are central to the Authority’s expectations of its Suppliers. Suppliers must ensure that robust procedures are adopted and maintained to eliminate the risk of poor human rights practices within their complex delivery chain environments funded by the Authority. These practices include sexual exploitation, abuse and harassment; all forms of child abuse and inequality or discrimination on the basis of race, gender, age, religion, sexuality, culture or disability. Suppliers must place an emphasis on the control of these and further unethical and illegal employment practices, such as modern day slavery, forced and child labour and other forms of exploitative and unethical treatment of workers and aid recipients. The Authority will expect a particular emphasis on management of these issues in high risk fragile and conflict affected states (FCAS), with a focus on ensuring remedy and redress if things go wrong.
