Foodspeed Commitment
We are committed to sourcing local products where possible while always offering choice to our clients. To this end we also purchase products and services from suppliers throughout Europe.
As a socially responsible company, we aim to ensure that our suppliers meet our ethical trading standards so that all products are produced under hygienic and safe working conditions by employees, themselves treated humanely.
We audit our suppliers, checking the origin and specification of all products, where possible ensuring they come from a sustainable source and meet industry-recognised quality assured standards.
