Sustainability in Action
UK Operations Elevating Supplier Ethical Standards in Accordance with International Framework
Creating Prosperous Food

In the UK operations under Westbridge Foods Ltd., a subsidiary engaged in international trade, suppliers of food and packaging are required to become members of the Supplier Ethical Data Exchange (Sedex). This system encompasses four sustainability aspects related to labor, health and safety, the environment, and business ethics, which apply to its global business network. Suppliers must complete a Self- Assessment Questionnaire (Sedex SAQ) annually.
Additionally, suppliers in high-risk countries are required to undergo audits in accordance with the SMETA (Sedex Members Ethical Trade Audit) standards conducted by independent auditors, in alignment with the principles of the Ethical Trading Initiative.
