Responsible Supplier Commitment

Tight Lines is a UK-based marketing consultancy providing Fractional CMO services to B2B organisations across Sussex, the UK, Japan, and worldwide.

​

Many organisations today assess suppliers not only on capability and cost, but also on responsible business practices.

​

Tight Lines supports B2B organisations ranging from growing SMEs to established companies and understands the importance of responsible supplier behaviour.

​

As a small, independent consultancy, Tight Lines maintains a proportionate and practical approach to governance, transparency, and professional conduct.

 

Professional Standards

​

Tight Lines operates according to several core principles:

​

  • honesty and transparency in client relationships

  • protection of confidential information

  • responsible use of technology and data

  • practical environmental awareness

  • professional integrity in all engagements

​

These principles underpin how client work is delivered. Get a flavour of how I work with clients here.

 

Environmental Responsibility

​

Tight Lines operates a remote-first consultancy model, which significantly reduces environmental impact compared with traditional office-based organisations.

​

The business maintains a documented Carbon Reduction Plan outlining how emissions associated with travel, digital infrastructure, and equipment use are managed.

​

Responsible Technology Use

​

Modern consultancy work increasingly involves digital platforms and emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence.

​

Tight Lines maintains a clear policy on the responsible use of AI tools, ensuring that:

​

  • client confidentiality is protected

  • outputs are validated by professional judgement

  • technology supports expertise rather than replacing it

​

Details are available in the Responsible Use of Artificial Intelligence statement.

This information is provided to support:

​

  • procurement assessments

  • ESG or governance questionnaires
