Like a lot of new and smaller businesses, we don’t own the farms that grow our ingredients or the factories that blend and package them. We buy our ingredients from intermediary companies who process the raw ingredients into powders.
It is really important to us that we only work with suppliers and manufacturing partners that share the same values and goals as we do. So we have done our homework.
The includes annual risk assessments for all the countries we source ingredients from and self-assessment questionnaires for supplies on their approach to the protection of human rights and the environment within their own organisation and supply chain. Huel are also members of the Supplier Ethical Data Exchange (Sedex).
We want all our suppliers to meet an internationally recognised sustainability standard and help us to continuously reduce our carbon footprint. And as we get to know our ingredient suppliers better, we hope to work in partnership to increase productivity and resource efficiency whilst also protecting their livelihoods, working conditions and the environment.
