Cocoa - In Europe, since August 2013, we only buy UTZ
Certified cocoa.
Palm Oil - From 1st September 2014, all the palm oil and
palm oil derivatives present in our products is sustainably
sourced.
‘Our Products (eg Packaging and Co-Packers)’ – We conduct
third party audits against our own Code of Conduct and
work with suppliers to help them improve. We do not
duplicate audits.
Tea – 75% of our tea comes from gardens that are certified
by the main internationally recognized certification
standards (ie, Rainforest Alliance, UTZ and Fairtrade). We
work with the ETP to improve standards in the rest of the
industry.
If there is no progress after an agreed period of time then
we will suspend the business relationship.
Certification and Audits

Promoting Improvements in Working Conditions
