We require that our suppliers, factories and key partners are certified against GFSI recognised standards such as BRC, IFS, FSSC and SQF. These standards are the foundation of our supplier approval process and provide reassurance to us and our customers that our high standards are being met and maintained. Responsible Sourcing First Grade International is an active member of SEDEX; the leading organisation for companies committed to sourcing responsibly and improving conditions for all parties within the supply chain. We prompt all our suppliers to register to become members of SEDEX before supplier approval and encourage them to participate in a third party SMETA Audit to allow for transparency throughout our supply chain. Supply Chain Management Our supply chains can be both complex and extensive with our suppliers providing a range of raw materials and finished goods. To support this, First Grade International has a dedicated and experienced Technical team which carefully monitors and audits suppliers’ sites to ensure that both UK and International Laws are met. We incorporate the principles of HACCP, TACCP and VACCP into our audit process and strive to achieve and build a rapport with our suppliers to ensure transparency and trust. Modern Slavery Policy It is required under the Modern Slavery Act (2015) that businesses state the actions they have taken during the financial year to ensure that modern slavery is not taking place in both their operations and supply chains. Here at First Grade International we see slavery, forced labour and human trafficking as fundamentally unacceptable within our business. As a company we firmly support the movement for transparency and collaboration from businesses to eliminate this risk.
