A summary of the expected community benefits has been provided as follows: Fair Work First (FWF) The Scottish Public Sector is committed to the delivery of high quality public services, and recognises that this is critically dependent on a workforce which is well-rewarded, well-motivated, well-led, has access to appropriate opportunities for training and development, is diverse and inclusive, and can influence decision making. These factors are also important for workforce recruitment and retention, and thus continuity of service delivery. Carbon Reduction Scotland's Climate Change Declaration and Aberdeen City Council’s ambitions to become a climate positive city and move towards a just transition to a net-zero, green, wellbeing economy represent key local and national priorities. Local authorities have a leadership role at a local/regional level in terms of responding to the challenges presented by climate change. Through partnership working with local key influencers such as Scarf (or similar) the Council is looking to provide a supportive culture whereby our suppliers can look to make financial savings and improve business performance and resilience through reducing carbon, developing more sustainable business models/ways of operating and making more sustainable choices. This approach is designed to make a positive, incremental impact on the performance, innovation and sustainability of our local economy and the climate emergency at a local level across our portfolio of contracts.
