Nomad Foods response to Uyghur forced labour & migrant worker abuse in seafood supply chains
Response from Nomad Foods to the Ocean Outlaw Project investigation into Uyghur forced labour and migrant abuse in seafood supply chains:
Nomad Foods does not receive any supply from Yantai Sanko Fisheries or Qingdao Tianyuan. We have also not received any evidence showing forced labour linked to our products from The Outlaw Ocean Project to enable us to investigate their allegations.
We are committed to ensuring human rights are respected as outlined by the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. Our Supplier Code of Conduct, which is available on our website, outlines the standards that our suppliers and their suppliers need to meet and exceed. This includes complying with all applicable human rights laws and regulations, for example, upholding the stronger of either the International Labour Organisation standards or applicable local laws. Taking proactive action to identify, address and remedy human rights risk and taking steps to ensure workers have decent working conditions is of critical importance to us and we are committed to continually evolving our policies and due-diligence approaches to increase their effectiveness.
As a member of the Seafood Ethics Action Alliance (SEA) we are also committed to working with other key stakeholders to strengthen human rights due diligence in the global seafood supply chain, ensure the right regulatory and enforcement mechanisms are in place and support fishery level improvement work.
