That\u2019s why it\u2019s important for the firm to work alongside construction specialists who <strong>care about people and the planet<\/strong> just as much as they do.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since its inception, Agilit\u00e9 has focused much energy on establishing <strong>trusted relationships<\/strong> throughout the European<strong> supply chain<\/strong> \u2013 and when it enters a new geographical market, the same search for potential <strong>strategic partners<\/strong>, unfolds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An essential component of the construction industry, the supply chain comprises organisations of all sizes and specialism \u2013 therefore, establishing a <strong>partner code of conduct<\/strong> was essential to support the wider work Agilit\u00e9 was undertaking, in its bid to become a more <strong>sustainable business<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The aim of this project was to reaffirm lasting<strong> commitments<\/strong> to its trading partners, but also to reform the partnership process for the future.

This foundation, as we will see in the next part of this article, was to create the rightful documentation adapted to the construction sector, to identify the gaps in the existing supply chain and to create an <strong>action plan<\/strong> to continuously improve the <strong>supplier database<\/strong> of Agilit\u00e9 (present and future).<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1668507616429{padding-right: 30px !important;padding-left: 30px !important;}&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;572&#8243; img_size=&#8221;200&#215;200&#8243; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;appear&#8221; image_hovers=&#8221;false&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1629359302383{margin-bottom: 80px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column css_animation=&#8221;fadeInUp&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1629358724922{padding-top: 50px !important;padding-right: 50px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;padding-left: 50px !important;background-color: #f6f6f7 !important;border-radius: 20px !important;}&#8221;][vc_row_inner gap=&#8221;20&#8243;][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; offset=&#8221;vc_col-lg-6&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2>The Strategy<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regulations, procedures, sustainability ambitions, and cultures vary, sometimes even on a state-to-state level, and Agilit\u00e9 relies on the input of its local specialists.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On every project, it sought to appoint the<strong> optimum combination of suppliers<\/strong> \u2013 whose own vision aligns with Agilit\u00e9\u2019s overarching commitment to <strong>socio-economic and net zero factors<\/strong> \u2013 particularly across design, materials, manufacture, logistics, construction, and disposal.
