Many of our suppliers are distributed globally. Where possible we support local suppliers and this is reflected in the distribution of our procurement of goods and services by location. We pride ourselves on the strength of the relationships we have with local suppliers, some of whom have supported us successfully for many years. Wherever possible, and practical, we believe in supporting our local community through our procurement decisions.

Responsible Procurement for Portman is leading the purchase of products, goods and/or services that are legal and comply with applicable regulations; being transparent, fair, environmentally and socially responsible and ethical. We strive to work with suppliers who share the same commitments and values, effectively balancing and achieving mutual and optimal value, and maintaining a mindset that is open to continuous improvements.
