OUR IMPACT STORIES
STRIVING FOR EXCELLENCE
UN Sustainable Development Goals
FFC supports eight of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. These goals relate to poverty, inequality, climate change, environmental degradation and peace and justice.
Child Protection Plan
FFC has a policy that forbids the use of child labour. Contractors are monitored regularly, and our inventory and other supplies are sourced from reputable manufacturers to further reduce risk. We are aware that this issue may be a possibility in the food supply chain, and where possible this will be audited.
We are committed to the protection of vulnerable categories of workers such as children, migrants, contractors, and subcontractors, thus all recruitment is done according to the International Labour Organization (ILO) Conventions. Proof of all social benefit payments is provided monthly by contractors, as required by law, prior to an FFC contractor receiving payment for work completed.
Employee Safety
FFC employees are provided with protective safety equipment to use, as required, and that is tailored to the risks associated with the work they are required to undertake. We are encouraging our employees to adopt a safety first culture in their local communities.
