Our purchasing policy identifies managing environmental issues in our supply chain as one of the key aspects of our supplier management strategy. We held another sustainability forum in January 2009 for our leading suppliers, to learn from each other and commit to making further reductions in the environmental impact of our supply chain.
In 2006, we began to work with a key supplier, MITIE, on its Real Apprentice scheme. This has so far seen 17 young people trained in our London sites, and our other service partners have agreed to take part in the next programme later this year.
Last year we were delighted to win the TELCO (The East London Communities Organisation) Award and we remain committed to paying the Living Wage to all our service partner employees who provide services in our buildings. The Mayor of London Boris Johnson announced the new London Living Wage rate on 22 May 2009 and we will bring this into effect in London, as well as an equivalent rate in the regions, in the coming financial year.
