Corporate Responsibility

AB Mauri North America’s approach to corporate responsibility is based on our core values and those of our ultimate parent, Associated British Foods. As a member of the Associated British Foods’ group, AB Mauri North America shares Associated British Foods’ corporate responsibility core values, principles and policies that may be viewed at http://www.abf.co.uk/corporate-responsibility.aspx.

AB Mauri takes its corporate responsibilities seriously. AB Mauri North America does not use forced labor or deal in human trafficking to produce its products or conduct its business operations.

AB Mauri North America is implementing a program that requires its direct suppliers to:

• Comply with AB Mauri North America’s then current Supplier Code of Conduct, which prohibits among other things the use of slave/forced labor or human trafficking;
• Certify that they comply with AB Mauri North America’s then current Supplier Code of Conduct;
• Disclose the extent to which the suppliers: provide training to their supply chain employees and management on human trafficking and slavery; maintain internal standards and procedures for its employees and contractors who fail to meet legal standards regarding slavery and human trafficking; audit their direct suppliers for compliance with the prohibitions against use of slave labor or human trafficking; and engage in verification of their product supply chains to evaluate and address risks of slavery and human trafficking; and
• Agree to submit to audits for compliance with AB Mauri North America’s then current Supplier Code of Conduct.
