The Safe Haven Scheme offers major advantages for producers, retailers and consumers by helping to eliminate notifiable, non-indigenous diseases & pests and the repercussions these devastating diseases can have on participating British businesses. Strict, independent audits are conducted on all scheme members to ensure stringent production and hygiene standards are realised and maintained. Safe Haven Scheme participants are only permitted to use seed potatoes produced within the Safe Haven Scheme. All our seed potatoes are sourced solely from Safe Haven members. |

SEDEX - Operational Standards for Supply Chains
This Code of Conduct defines the labour and basic environmental standards that all retail suppliers must achieve in all factories and worksites wherever they are in the world including the UK. This Code is based on the standards set out in the International Labour Organisation Conventions and is designed to ensure that the rights of all workers (whether permanent, temporary, casual or seasonal, local or migrant) are respected and protected.
Environmental Policy
We are committed to minimising our potential impact on the environment. As a minimum requirement, we operate in compliance with all environmental legislation and strive to utilise relevant environmental best practice in all our operations.
We recognise that by meeting our obligations to detect and mitigate those adverse effects that our operations may be having on the environment, we can not only reduce pollution, energy consumption and waste, but also provide our business with valuable commercial benefits.
The key points of our environmental strategy are:
- Implement a rolling program of inspection and site audits;
- Evaluate our operations to ensure that they are as efficient as possible;
- Develop and maintain appropriate emergency and spill response procedures;
- Educate and inform our employees about any environmental issues which may affect their work and encourage them to behave in an environmentally responsible manner;
- Re-use and recycle where possible;
- Promote efficient use of materials and resources;
- Avoid unnecessary use of hazardous materials and products;
- Exchange information to share methods of best practice and the use of the best available technology.
Through the above we hope to demonstrate an environmentally responsible image and we encourage our suppliers and customers to follow similar environmental best practice methods.
