Human Rights Impact Assessment

Pilgrims UK in partnership with Co-op and Waitrose publish results of their Human Rights Impact Assessment

Pilgrim’s UK, one of the UK’s largest food companies and Britain’s biggest provider of higher welfare pork, together with its retail partners Waitrose and Co-op, have conducted a first-of-its-kind human rights impact assessment (HRIA) on its integrated pork and lamb supply networks. The assessment is aimed at helping the businesses achieve their shared ambition of a fully transparent supply chain.

The assessment is the first-of-its-kind for a livestock supply chain globally due to its scale and wide-ranging criteria. It spanned Pilgrim’s UK’s outdoor-bred pig farms and lamb farms, as well as the business’ processing and abattoir sites, from which Co-op and Waitrose source the majority of their pork and all of Waitrose’s lamb products.

Pilgrim’s UK, Co-op and Waitrose’s HRIA will help all three businesses gain a deeper understanding of how their practices are affecting farmers, workers and other stakeholders working in the pig and lamb supply chains within the UK, and the actions they can take to mitigate, prevent or remediate any identified impacts.

The assessment has been undertaken in collaboration with ethical trade consultancy firm, Impactt Ltd.

The assessment covered the period between October 2021 to February 2022, during which the UK pork industry faced the most severe challenges in its history, with labour shortages and end of the Covid-19 pandemic being among factors that led to a significant backlog of pigs.

Modern slavery

We have a strong and robust Modern Slavery Policy and are working towards being best practice in our processes and procedures. We work in partnership with our labour providers, the GLAA (Gangmaster and Labour Abuse Authority), UK and Welsh Governments and Anti-Slavery Commissioners, to drive up standards and rid the food supply chain of this crime and support 

Modern slavery is where one person, or persons control another or a group of people by exploiting a vulnerability. It is often linked with human trafficking, where a person is forced into a service against their will – usually forced work or prostitution. The control can be physical, financial or psychological.

Modern Slavery Continued

Why is it a problem?

Like many food productions companies, we employ a mix of our own workforce, who are directly employed and agency staff who are employed by the agency but work on our site. 

We operate across 15 sites in the UK with 5,889 permanent employees with up to an additional 2,100 additional agency workers at peak periods.

We class agencies as high risk as we do not have direct control over every single agency site in the UK, and how they operate on a day to day basis. Unlike our own 15 sites.

Pilgrim’s UK has been at the forefront of the industry in adopting appropriate measures to keep our people safe throughout the coronavirus pandemic. This has enabled the business to maintain its strategically important role in the UK food supply chain to some of the country’s leading grocery retailers.

We are proud to have been pro-active in taking all necessary steps in order to protect our people whilst maintaining the continuity of our supply chain to deliver food to the nation.

We recognise the important and demanding role our organisation and our people have to play in the current climate and we are immensely proud of the way they have collectively responded to the responsibility which has been thrust upon them during what has been an extremely concerning time for all.

Safety is a condition in our organisation and our food production environments conform to stringent health, safety and hygiene standards at all times. We have followed UK Government Covid-19 guidance from the outset of the crisis and, along with the external regulatory bodies which audit and assess our sites, we are satisfied that our operations have adhered to the specific rules for food processing facilities.
