At Totally Fudged, we are deeply committed to the values of compassion, integrity, and respect, not only within our delightful range of fudge products but also in our supply chain and daily operations. As a British company, we take the issue of modern slavery and human trafficking very seriously, and we recognise our responsibility to help combat these heinous practices. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines our unwavering commitment to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking while promoting a culture of fairness and ethical conduct.

Our Approach

- Employee Code of Conduct

Our foundation lies in our Employee Code of Conduct, which serves as a beacon for our entire workforce. This comprehensive code emphasises our zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking. We ensure that our employees understand and uphold these principles, fostering an inclusive and responsible work environment.

- Supplier Engagement

We believe that our commitment to ethical practices extends beyond our company walls. We work closely with our suppliers, encouraging them to embrace the same ethical standards we hold dear. Through open dialogue and collaboration, we seek to create a supply chain that stands united against modern slavery.

- Due Diligence and Risk Assessment

We conduct thorough due diligence assessments of our suppliers to identify and address any potential risks of modern slavery within our supply chain. Our risk assessment processes allow us to proactively mitigate the possibility of any unethical practices.

- Training and Awareness

Educating our employees and suppliers about the realities of modern slavery is pivotal to our fight against this issue. We provide comprehensive training programmes to raise awareness about the signs of modern slavery and how to report concerns effectively.

- Fair Employment Practices

We strongly advocate for fair and humane treatment of all workers. Our suppliers are expected to uphold the principles of voluntary employment, without any form of forced, bonded, or involuntary labour. We promote the right of every individual to work without fear of exploitation or abuse.

- Transparent Policy Review

Our commitment to continuous improvement drives us to regularly review and update our policies and procedures. This ongoing assessment ensures that our approach remains robust, aligns with best practices, and adapts to changing circumstances.

Reporting and Whistleblowing

Totally Fudged maintains an anonymous and confidential reporting system that encourages all stakeholders, including customers, suppliers, and employees, to come forward with any concerns related to modern slavery. We take every report seriously and ensure that appropriate actions are taken promptly to investigate and address the issues raised.

Supplier Ethical Data Exchange (SEDEX)

As part of our dedication to transparency, we are proud members of the Supplier Ethical Data Exchange (SEDEX). This membership reflects our commitment to ethical sourcing and supply chain management.
