OUR ETHICAL TRADE PROGRAMME
We believe that business can be a force for good, and we’re always striving to empower people and the planet. This forms the basis of our Ethical Trade Programme. We believe that all workers in our supply chain should be free from exploitation and discrimination and enjoy conditions of freedom and security.
We only trade with suppliers that meet our Ethical Trade standards to ensure workers remain free from exploitation and respecting the relationship between human rights and the environment. We share our Code of Conduct with all Suppliers to ensure that they are aware of our expectations towards our joint responsibility towards upholding Human Rights in supply chains, to include the following areas:
- Health & Safety of workers
- Safe and hygienic working conditions for all, including freedom of association and collective bargaining
- Never using child or forced labour
- No harassment nor discrimination is practiced
- Working hours that are not excessive
- Regular employment is provided
- Fair Wages that aim to promote dignity, economic equity, and fairness, often exceeding legal minimum wage requirements
- All people are treated with kindness and respect
- Environmental stewardship is practiced
- Suppliers as a minimum seek to understand and mitigate their impact in the environment and the communities around them
