DWF Corporate Responsibility Statement

We are also committed to dealing openly, fairly and honestly with our suppliers and will not demand standards of them that we do not apply to ourselves.

Dialogue

Creating a conversation is the basis for building quality supply chain relationships

It helps suppliers to understand where our firm is going and why

Engaging our suppliers not only encourages them to share in our journey but creates the sense of ownership and participation which is critical to the delivery of our vision and business objective
