Inclusive procurement

Our supplier diversity and inclusion strategy

Mission & Commitment

Our mission is to create an inclusive supply chain that provides a level playing field and equal opportunities for all qualified suppliers, with a focus on businesses owned and operated by under-represented groups. We are committed to fostering diversity, equality, and inclusion among all our suppliers.

“Sky's Inclusive procurement strategy aims to create a commercial environment where all businesses can thrive. By focusing on underrepresented groups (Women; those with Black, Asian or Ethnic minority background; disabled people; members of the LGBT+ community) we ensure that our sourcing practices are inclusive for everyone”.
