We are committed to having fair and ethical business relationships with all of our suppliers. In the event there is a commercial dispute about payment, we strive to resolve disputes in a timely manner. Our dispute resolution process involves a collaborative effort to ensure a mutually agreeable outcome is reached. In the majority of circumstances, the Sarasin representative responsible for the procurement of the goods or services will resolve a dispute directly with the supplier via telephone or email. In the unlikely event that a dispute cannot be resolved in this way, the matter will be referred to our in‐house Legal Team.
