DOING BUSINESS RESPONSIBLY

ANIMAL WELFARE
ExpandANIMAL WELFARE
Animal welfare is extremely important to us and central to our business.
Our farming links in pork spread across multiple generations in the UK and Ireland, helping to strengthen our ongoing commitment to producing high quality products that adhere to the highest animal welfare standards.
We have an award winning approach to animal welfare across our own farm operations and throughout our supply chains in pork and seafood. We are RSPCA assured, BRC Certified, Red Tractor Certified in pork and adhere to the ‘Fish for Life’ program in seafood.
Across the Group, we have unrivalled production chain traceability, so our customers and consumers can be certain that we operate in-line with industry standards and that the animals we rear, breed and source are healthy and treated well.

RESPONSIBLE PROCUREMENT

We base all our procurement decisions on formal selection criteria which are considerate of the impact we may have on the environment, the economy, and society in general.
Across the Group, we’re dedicated to ensuring all of our raw materials are sourced as ethically, responsibly and sustainably as possible to help maintain healthy natural resources.
Our sourcing decisions are based on principles embedded across our operations, for example, in the seafood sourcing procedures under the Young’s Seafood ‘Fish for Life’ initiative.
