Home About Services Products Sourcing Awards Contact us Modern Slavery Act Statement Transparency in Our Supply Chains Awareness of labour issues in the seafood industry has increased in recent years through a number of high-profile media cases. Lack of traceability is a common key factor in these cases of forced labour. Lovering Foods has a publicly stated commitment to 100% traceability throughout our product range and continuously strives to mitigate risks of labour issues in our complex international supply chains. To achieve this, we manage strong direct relationships with our suppliers to ensure visibility to factory level. We continue to expand our scope to gain a deeper understanding of our indirect suppliers (including packaging and raw material) and to address the industry-wide issue of lack of visibility at sea. We continue to tackle the challenges faced within our international supply chain through collaboration with stakeholders. We commit to the ETI Base Code and focus our efforts on industry wide challenges such as ensuring employment is freely chosen; living wages are paid; and excessive working hours are avoided.
