Use of Local Suppliers

DBC recognise the benefits of sourcing products on a local basis – particularly the reduction in transport requirements and the subsequent environmental benefits.

DBC Purchasing team regularly attend local 'meet the buyer' events with the aim of developing sustainable local suppliers. Such suppliers will be introduced into DBC for the benefit of local customers, providing they can meet the standards required under DBC's Purchasing Policy – particularly in terms of food safety.

DBC works with its customers to identify potential local suppliers and DBC's purchasing team are briefed to ensure that local suppliers are given full opportunity of supplying their products.
