In 2013 Dairy Crest Limited implemented the EcoVadis Corporate Social Responsibility (“CSR”)

monitoring platform to identify, assess and mitigate potential risk areas (including slavery and

human trafficking) in our supply chain. This platform combines CSR assessment expertise and

data management tools, which allow us to monitor the ethical, social and environmental

performance of key direct and indirect suppliers. The platform also provides a methodology for

following up on and dealing with suppliers where risk is identified and measuring compliance with

our Supplier Corporate Responsibility Policy.
