Working With Suppliers

"Increasingly people are questioning the working conditions and standards within the suppliers and on the farms that provide us with the ingredients and materials that we depend upon. Consumers are rightly concerned, and want to know that brands they trust are working to protect and develop human rights within their supply chain. People want to know what companies are doing to exert their influence to improve standards and ensure reasonable conditions. It's a challenging topic, and one where Cadbury has developed its activity and works closely with others, including our suppliers, to improve those standards."
