Bloom Essential guides our actions and decisions, making certain we deliver on our purpose and acts as a drumbeat for change and collaborative action.
Bloom Essential is underpinned by 5 pillars, outlining our long-term goals and objectives and driving action year after year.
Each of our commitments were carefully crafted and based on the values and issues most important to us. The result is five key themes that we believe will deliver purposeful impact.
We are committed to reducing the impacts our business and supply chain have on the environment and natural world. Our core focus is on activity that will take steps towards achieving net zero by 2045.
We will dedicate our time in the support of causes that are close to our hearts and purpose. As one team, we will be a movement for good, with a common goal of leaving a positive and lasting legacy for the benefit of everyone.
We will build an exceptional team who are motivated and supported by a culture that enables them to be the best possible version of themselves, at home and at work.
We are committed to long-term growth and continuous product and process innovation. We will promote a level playing field and equal opportunities for all our customers, as we seek to deliver maximum value for society and ensure that what we do today has a positive impact on our communities tomorrow.
We understand that everything we do has the potential to impact and bring about change for all our stakeholders, that we must act in way that ensures this impact is always for the better. We promote a shared accountability for Bloom to grow both ethically and sustainably and place this accountability at the very heart of our business. Our commitment is that as we grow, we will grow with purpose.
We know we must preserve our world and home for the next generation.

Bloom was essential in the recent hiring of a consultant for a governance project within oneSource.

I was provided with proposals from a range of experienced and relevant suppliers and received valued support from Bloom throughout the process.
I chose to work with Bloom as I liked the idea of outcome-based projects. It’s so much more efficient, as it’s a compliant process without the need to go through the OJEU process as it’s still competitive. Bloom has many suppliers already available but we can add suppliers whenever we want. Having someone who can help by providing a second opinion; a neutral point of view has been valuable to us.
