Ethical

Our commitment to the principles of the Modern Slavery Act 2015

Iberveg UK is committed to the principles of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and the abolition of
modern slavery and human trafficking.

As an equal opportunities’ employer, we’re committed to creating and ensuring a non-discriminatory and respectful working environment for our staff. We want all our staff to feel confident that they can expose wrongdoing without any risk to themselves.

Our recruitment and people management processes are designed to ensure that all prospective
employees are legally entitled to work in the UK and to safeguard employees from any abuse or
coercion.

We do not enter into business with any organization, in the UK or abroad, which knowingly supports or is found to be involved in slavery, servitude and forced or compulsory labour.

Our supply chain

Iberveg UK procures goods from local UK growers and from our linked companies in Spain and the
Netherlands. Our sister companies in Spain and the Netherlands have well developed Modern
Slavery Policies and participate in local social development programmes.

Our supply chains are limited and we procure goods and services from a restricted range of UK and
overseas suppliers, with attainment of Global GAP or equivalent certification as the minimum
required standard.

We assess ourselves to have a low risk of modern slavery in our business and supply chains.
