4. Supply chain accountability

To ensure our supply chain complies with our values, we have in place a supply chain compliance programme. This consists of:

(a) Supplier Modern Slavery Code of Conduct

As part of M&B's commitment, M&B has launched a M&B Supplier Code of Conduct to which M&B will hold its supply chain accountable.

(b) Supplier Certification & Procurement

M&B will request that all current and new suppliers certify their compliance with the M&B Supplier Code of Conduct.

M&B will consider each supplier's conduct against the M&B Supplier Code of Conduct and the fundamental principles contained within it when awarding new business with suppliers.

Suppliers must also comply with company policy and law.

"M&B is committed to ethical and social responsible conduct in the workplace. M&B seeks to comply with all employment legislation (including conducting appropriate right to work checks prior to employment and to ensure all employees are fully entitled to work in the UK)."
