Page 2. We have contracts with suppliers. We are rolling out a new approach to contract management in our supply base. This will ensure that all of our ingredient processing, blending, bottling and packaging suppliers have signed a master services agreement (MSA) which, amongst other things, has a section outlining our environmental and social requirements and expectations, including those outlined in our human rights policy. The MSA asks suppliers to share our code of business conduct (see below) with their employees and subcontractors and ensure they are in compliance with it.

"Here at innocent we believe that, while policies and contracts don’t make good bedtime reading, they are of crucial importance for setting expectations. Our human rights policy applies to our whole business and supply chain, and we have an ongoing audit programme (see below) to monitor compliance. The policy clarifies our position on diversity, freedom of association, workplace health, safety and security, working hours, wages and benefits, child labour and modern slavery. It also prohibits the use of all forms of forced labour including prison labour, indentured labour, bonded labour, military labour, slave labour and any form of human trafficking.
Our policy is guided by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Labour Organisation’s Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work and the United Nation Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights."
