Our Principles

Openly and honestly communicate about sustainability commitments and performance. Raise awareness and educate all stakeholders, such as employees, investors, suppliers and customers, to drive progress throughout industry.

Enhance the economic, environmental and social development of local communities, through schemes and projects such as charity partnerships, by supporting local businesses or by providing employment and education opportunities. Engage with and respect the local community through a proactive and collaborative decision-making approach.

Respect and uphold the rights of employees and workers throughout value chains, ensuring they are treated fairly, provided with safe and healthy workplaces that safeguard physical and mental wellbeing, are guaranteed fair and equal wages, and offered training and development opportunities. Take steps to mitigate and eradicate all forms of modern slavery or human trafficking throughout business operations.

Consider the social and environmental impacts of raw materials, finished products and packaging throughout the supply chain, from design to end-of-life. In particular, consider the end of use of products and packaging, minimising waste and ensuring easy disassembly, recyclability or biodegradability. Seek to use materials created within circular and regenerative systems, that also promote animal welfare. Where alternatives to animal-derived materials are used, ensure they are responsibly sourced and created using raw materials and processes with a low environmental impact.
