Global Supplier Code of Conduct
This code makes clear McCormick's commitment to fair labor standards and helps ensure that McCormick aligns itself with suppliers that share this commitment and expects the same of their own suppliers.
Ethical Supply Chains
Many of McCormick’s agricultural products are acquired from suppliers who ultimately source raw materials from farming communities. It has always been important that materials used in our products are obtained through ethical and fair labor conditions.
Ethics Hotline
The ethics hotline is staffed by an independent organization for employees and external stakeholders to report actual or potential violations of McCormick’s policies and codes of conduct without fear of retaliation. Anyone is able to submit a report, additional information can be found in our Business Ethics Policy.
Sedex
McCormick requires high-risk suppliers to sign up for Sedex, which is one of the world’s leading ethical trade membership organization and works with businesses to improve working conditions in their global supply chains.
Due Diligence
Our procurement team work with external consultants and other stakeholders to risk assess our global sourcing operations for human rights and environmental impacts. McCormick then collaborates with suppliers on action plans and funds mitigation projects.
