Looking after your people
As a multinational company, we have a Code of Conduct running across our different countries and we also follow audit and certification schemes such as SMETA (Sedex Members Ethical Trade Audit).
This sets us apart from some smaller food and drink companies in terms of specific practices and audits, but we’re just the same as them in one crucial respect: we rely on our people.
By treating people fairly and well and developing them, we see a range of business benefits: from a more positive workplace culture to better staff retention to higher productivity.
