Supplier standards

Supplier standards

Developing a more sustainable business is a long-term journey that requires the full participation of all our suppliers.

We expect strong social and environmental standards from suppliers, but we recognise that many need practical help and support in implementing more sustainable practices. Our challenge is to build supply chains that are resilient to the social and environmental challenges facing the industry, working closely with farmers, producers and processors to champion and embed excellence in sustainability.

By 2020, our suppliers will also be leaders in meeting or exceeding our social and environmental standards.
