Your HS2 Learning Journey
Together with its major Main Works Civils and Station Contractors, HS2 has created a programme to improve sustainability skills and performance of the wider supply chain contributing to the UK’s largest infrastructure project.
The HS2 Supply Chain School initiative uses a collaborative approach to learning and competence linked to HS2 strategic objectives. It also rationalises the approaches used to manage and monitor complex supply chain sustainability performance.
“A really valuable resource to help develop our wider supply chain. The Supply Chain Sustainability School really does deliver and bringing HS2 and their capability together is inspired.”
Andrew Cubitt, Procurement & Supply Chain Director, HS2
Our Partners supporting this Initiative
The programme is supported by six HS2 Joint Venture contractors – all of whom are Partners of the Supply Chain School.

Supporting our Supply Chain
HS2 provides a variety of resources and information to support the supply chain and promote sustainability.
“At HS2 we recognise we are raising the bar on sustainability standards and expect our supply chain to step up. We also acknowledge that if we ask our supply chain to do something exceptional we must support them. Our Partnership with the Supply Chain Sustainability School is one of the ways we do this.”Mark Thurston, Chief Executive Officer, HS2 Ltd.
