Sainsbury’s Modern Slavery Statement outlines where they source from geographically though identifying the key raw materials that pose the greatest risk of forced labor within their supply chain. They highlight 6 materials and where they are mainly sourced from: “1) Cotton - Example sourcing countries: Brazil, China, India, United States; 2) Fresh Produce - Example sourcing countries: United Kingdom, South Africa, Spain, Morocco, Peru; 3) Coffee - Example sourcing countries: Brazil, Colombia, Honduras, Guatemala, Peru, and Vietnam; 4) Sugarcane - Example sourcing countries: Belize, Eswatini and Paraguay; 5) Cocoa - Example sourcing countries: Ghana, Ivory Coast, Colombia; 6) Tea - Example sourcing countries: Kenya, Malawi, India” (Pgs. 11-15). They do not explicitly list each of their suppliers and where they are located.

They do not explicitly list each of their suppliers and where they are located but do indicate that they publish a list of their Tier-1 suppliers elsewhere: “Publishing our tier 1 own-brand supplier lists enables us to promote transparency, collaboration and give the workers in our supply chains a voice” (Page 8).
