Responsibility

Standards belong at the buying point.

Risk does not disappear because a policy exists. Rasad’s responsibility is to put expectations, reporting and follow-up into the work at origin.

01

Responsible sourcing

Buying decisions should protect people, land and the integrity of the crop.

Supplier expectations and concerns are handled through the sourcing and grievance processes.

Being implemented

02

Child labour prevention

Rasad does not accept child labour in its operations or supply chain.

The response to a concern must protect the child, investigate the facts and address the cause.

03

Human rights and labour

Commercial pressure does not excuse forced labour, harassment, discrimination or unsafe work.

Workers and supply-chain partners can report concerns without charge and in confidence.

Active grievance controls

04

Land and deforestation risk

Origin has to be known, not assumed.

Farm-location records and land-use checks are part of the traceability work still being built.

05

Health and safety

People should be able to work without avoidable harm.

Serious and urgent risks are prioritised through the grievance process.

06

Community engagement

People affected by Rasad's work need a direct route to the company.

Field officers, hub managers and community meetings provide routes to ask questions or report concerns.

When something is wrong

A concern must have somewhere to go.

Reports may be anonymous. There is no fee. Good-faith reporters are protected from retaliation. The process records the concern, assesses it, investigates it and tracks action.
