Hima-Sella has recenly signed up to the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) charter which aims to foster good working relations across the NDA estate's supply chain, with all parties signing up to a set of principles encouraging mutually beneficial and rewarding relationships. The two-page charter is a simple set of principles that are important to the NDA and the Site Licence Companies.

The NDA and Site Licence Companies worked together to formulate the charter which arose out of the NDA's new Supply Chain Development Strategy adopted in May 2009. The final version has evolved following external consultation with the supply chain and those representing it. As NDA and the SLCs value the whole supply chain, the concept of a Supply Chain Charter was identified to help deliver the following:

For all levels of the supply chain to 'be a good client'
To foster good working relations and
Improve planning and performance through all tiers of the supply chain supporting the NDA estate.

The NDA currently spends more than £2.8 billion a year, of which circa £1.3 billion enters the supply chain at a range of levels below the Site Licence Companies.
