The way we treat suppliers is founded on a set of values and principles describing a fairer and better way of doing business.

We are also governed by Groceries Supply Code of Practice. 

Fairness by law

The Government introduced the Groceries Supply Code of Practice (GSCOP) in February 2010. The code protects suppliers from unfair commercial practices.

The code covers the sale of groceries including:

  • food
  • pet food
  • drinks
  • cleaning products
  • toiletries
  • household products

There are ten grocery retailers including ourselves governed by the code.
