We have initiated a review of the supplier arrangements with all of our trading, non-trade and administrative divisions so we can report more comprehensively in the future.We have tracked procurement in our food division for many years and can confirm that 100% of our food procurement is done through membership of Federal Retail Trading Services Limited which is managed by the Co-operative Group in accordance with their ethical buying policies which we support. The Co-operative Group has stated that it’s committed to developing fair and sustainable relationships with suppliers across its supply chain.In respect of all other procurement we operate a zero tolerance policy towards slavery and human trafficking. We expect all those in our supply chain and contractors to comply with our values. The senior managers in all divisions are responsible for compliance with the Act in their respective divisions and for their supplier relationships."
