Working with suppliers

We are committed to trading fairly, ensuring everyone in our supply chain is treated with honesty, fairness and respect at all times. Responsible sourcing is central to all our procurement decisions and Brakes has an Ethical Sourcing Code of Practice that must be adhered to.

All Brakes own brand suppliers are either certified to the British Retail Consortium (BRC) Global Food Safety Standard (or equivalent) or are formally approved by our own Technical Managers. We expect suppliers, both in their own companies and those of their suppliers to work towards labour standards based upon those set by the Ethical Trading Initiative (ETI).
