At LUPC, we take a holistic approach to responsible procurement, seeing it at something that should always benefit both people and planet, producing positive benefits that are felt across communities.

Over the last year, we have been busy developing our very own due diligence portal, LUPC’s RP Hub, evolved from our supplier questionnaire which we have been using for a few years now. We have made the decision to invest our resources in responsible procurement activities as we truly believe in building a platform for a better sustainable future.

Assessing supply chains to manage your organisation’s sustainability impact is an ever-increasing pressure for our members. Capacity, expertise and time can all be barriers to progress, with finding a way to manage it overwhelming. However inspired you may feel to make a difference, the reality of having the time, knowledge and expertise to do so is challenging.

We designed the RP Hub to support your advancement in achieving your sustainability goals. It is free for our members and framework suppliers to use.

For members, the tool will enable the tracking of LUPC framework suppliers on their responsible procurement journey.

For suppliers, it’s an opportunity to work on a tailored approach with LUPC to support their ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) progress, as well as promoting awareness of their activities in this area to members.

We’re excited to share that we are in the final stages of development and will be launching the RP Hub shortly….watch this space for further information!
