Through our Responsible Procurement Policy and supporting codes we set high standards for our suppliers’ business conduct, just as we do for ourselves.
At Danish Crown, we recognise the critical role of procurement, and we want to live up to our responsibility for due diligence not only in our own operations and processes but throughout our supply chain. This is enshrined in our Responsible Procurement Policy, which is supported by our Supplier Code of Conduct, Business Partner Code of Conduct and Codes of Practice.
All codes are based on relevant legislation and recognised international standards for the environment, animal welfare, food safety, and human and labour rights, including the elimination of child and forced labour.
The Responsible Procurement Policy and supporting codes are all available here.
You can also read more about the development of our approach to responsible sourcing in our Annual Report.
To further increase transparency in our supply chain and improve our sourcing processes, we are working with recognised tools and platform like EcoVadis and Sedex to assess risks and drive continuous improvements.
