In the current challenging economic climate, organisations are battling with the desire to drive growth and profitability, whilst investing in low carbon emitting technologies to reduce their carbon footprint and speed up their journey to Net Zero. There is also the ever-increasing pressure in competitive tenders, consumer led demand, and internal staff resources, which means all companies are facing the challenge of decarbonisation and gaining recognised credentials for their environmental activity. Failure to address this runs the risk of losing out on competitive tenders and market share to other suppliers.

The challenge in addressing all these issues is then compounded by increasing scrutiny of environmental claims by investors, Government, consumers and environmental charities. The aim of engagement is to help organisations not just to navigate their path to Verified Carbon Neutral on their journey to Net Zero, but to fund it through our cost savings and procurement solutions from within the business where possible.

As part of the Auditel network I can call upon the support of over 100 procurement & carbon specialists who are all experts in their own field and we cover over 100 different cost categories, from energy to laundry, waste management to mobiles, office stationery to consumables. If a business is spending money on it, we can manage it on their behalf and deliver greater value than they could achieve themselves. I bring these experts in on a project-by-project basis for my clients to give them the expertise just when they need it. Our procurement specialists work alongside our clients Finance, Operational & Procurement teams providing the external help their organisation requires to deliver business transformation and sustainability. This saves clients time, money and heartache and gives them complete peace of mind that their expenditure is under control and they’re always on the most appropriate deals that offer the best value. This allows them to do what they do best: focus on growing the business.

Across the UK the Auditel network assists over 2,000 clients of all sectors. We don’t claim to specialise in certain industries as each client is unique and we find that the client relationship is key, more than their given sector.

From national charities and household names, to independent retailers and education providers our experience gathered over the last 21 years means we’ve encountered and resolved most supplier issues for our clients.

Each project for each client is unique, and no organisation should promise savings in resources or finance until a full review has been conducted, however as examples here are some savings achieved for our clients;
