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.

 

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.

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.
