♡ CODE OF CONDUCT
Social Responsibility is one of our core values at Pilgrim, and we want to influence our suppliers and make them understand why proper conduct is essential. We have established a department within our China office to work in accordance with the Code of Conduct.
Pilgrim has a Code of Conduct, which has been signed by all our suppliers. As we do not own our own production facilities, our influence is limited. However, we have made great efforts to establish close and good relationships with our suppliers.
We will continue to improve conditions at our suppliers, but this is not an overnight project. It is important to emphasise that working on improvements is a process that takes time. It can take years, just like the fight for equal opportunities and equal pay in the West. We work closely with our suppliers and encourage them to see the benefits and the importance of complying with the Code of Conduct. Due to the socio-cultural and economic differences that exist between China and countries in the West, this is a complex task, but one that we will make every effort to continue to improve upon. Fortunately, the social conditions in China are improving every day, and this too will influence our suppliers in a positive way.
