Policies & Positions

    We follow a suite of Policies, Codes and Standards, which address all our business activities across the supply chain.

    Our Codes –  such as the Plantations, Concessions and Farms Code – tell our teams what they need to do, while our Standards tell them how to do it.  All are developed in line with international standards, including BRC, IFC, RSPO and ISO guidelines.

    We’ve a series of Position Statements to provide information on topics we are asked about and to remain transparent in our operations.
