Cultivating strong relationships with our suppliers is paramount for us to achieve our daily mission: making sure our customers have access to quality products at affordable prices. By fostering these relationships, we are better positioned to continue our work on promoting healthy eating habits based on a sustainable development model. These values set the foundation of our strategy and procurement activities.
Our business conduct emphasises the way we work, with honesty, rigour and integrity, and is supported by the following policies and procedures, which are available here:
- Code of Conduct
- Anti-Corruption Policy
- Whistleblowing Policy
- Sustainable Sourcing Policy
- Code of Conduct for Suppliers
We have zero tolerance for corruption or fraud, and we are uncompromising when it comes to any violation of our Code of Conduct, our Anti-Corruption Policy and the rules established in the laws laid down by the European Union and the countries in which we operate. A detailed description on these policies can be found in “Our policies”.
