Reported terms and dispute process
  1. Standard payment terms

    There are no general formal standard terms with suppliers. Terms are generally agreed with suppliers on a case by case basis informally.

  2. Dispute resolution process

    If an invoice is in query this is raised with the supplier. The company and the suppliers are in regular communication which helps resolves any disputes arising on a timely basis. The query is generally resolved by discussion with either the P/L clerk or salesman.

Demonstrated progress

We have changed the format of our report to state the key activities and outcomes. This expands on our previous statements that generalised our activity. We have also included a section on examples of allegations and our investigation of these allegations as there were indicators of MS . We believe that by being more transparent this shows we have the mechanisms in place to be able to address and mitigate issues if a case of Modern Slavery were to be found in our organisation or supply chain.

Reported risks and mitigations

  • Risk: Recruitment fees in terms of potential links with bonded labour and pushing workers wages below living wage
  • Area: Within your supply chains
  • Tier: Tier 2 suppliers Tier 3 suppliers and below
  • Group: Women Migrants Refugees Children
  • Location: Egypt Spain United Kingdom Morocco
  • Mitigation: We are sponsoring programs in the UK, Spain and Morocco which engages workers through an App that provides workers with information on their rights as well as allows us to engage with workers to ask questions but also for them to ask questions of their employer / recruiter We are engaged with the FNET Empowering Work group which focuses on capacity building within our supply chains. To promote worker voice through different channels and ensure that actions to mitigate risk are taken
  • Risk: Ineffective or non-existant worker engagement to ensure that worker voice is heard.
  • Tier: Tier 1 suppliers Tier 2 suppliers Tier 3 suppliers and below
  • Mitigation: Collaborative action through FNET (UK & World), Spanish Ethical Forum (Spain), SWS Taskforce (UK), Egyptian Ethical Forum (Egypt) and new stakeholder engagement in Morocco which is in it's very early stages. Ensuring that Tier 1 suppliers promote worker consultation either with Union or through worker committee
  • Risk: Lack of inclusion and diversity preventing developmen and training of workers to be able to advance their roles.
  • Mitigation: In our own business we have the Dole Women's Leaders Network to promote mentoring and career guidance for women. In our supply chain we are working collaboratively through our stakeholder engagement and sponsorship / membership with forums in North Africa in particular where there are significant cultural challenges encouraging the development of women workers. We recently engaged with growers in both Egypt (December 2025) and more recently in Morocco (April 2026) to champion this cause.

A registry entry records what the organisation declared in its statement. It is not an independent audit. Group statements can cover several companies; BritDB preserves each exact source-supplied company-number link and excludes approver names and email addresses.

This is an exact normalised company-name match, not a registrar-confirmed ownership link. Another legal entity can have the same or a very similar name. UKIPO data is a historical 2018 snapshot; verify the owner and current status before relying on it.

PSC records are company-filed public-register information. When the exact same displayed individual name occurs at multiple companies, BritDB offers a non-indexed cross-reference page. It is a name match only, not proof that the records describe the same person. Service addresses and partial dates of birth are deliberately omitted.

07 Charity register

Charity Commission links

Snapshot 25 August 2026
CCEW

No exact company-number link in this snapshot

The Charity Commission extract did not explicitly associate this Companies House number with a charity. BritDB does not use a name-only match to fill the gap.

i

This company-level check covers the Charity Commission for England and Wales. Links are accepted only when the official extract supplies this exact company registration number. Scottish charities now have separate OSCR profiles, but OSCR’s bulk fields do not provide a Companies House number, so BritDB does not infer a company link.

08 Northern Ireland charity register

CCNI exact company links

Snapshot 25 August 2026
CCNI

No unambiguous company-number link found

The CCNI source number did not resolve uniquely to this Companies House record. BritDB did not use a name or address match.

i

CCNI publishes company numbers without a jurisdiction prefix. BritDB links only when the plausible padded UK and NI candidates resolve to exactly one Companies House company.

09 Sanctions screening

UK Sanctions List

Report 28 August 2026
UKSL

No exact business-registration-number link found

The imported UK Sanctions List did not supply this Companies House number as a UK-linked business identifier. BritDB did not attempt a name-only match.

!

No exact link is not sanctions clearance. UK restrictions can apply through ownership or control even where an entity is not separately named. Always use the current official list and obtain appropriate advice for a legally significant decision.

10 Public procurement

Find a Tender did not explicitly identify this Companies House number in a procurement party. BritDB did not attempt a name-only match.

i

These links use only the GB-COH identifier supplied in the procurement record. A company may have other public-sector work that is absent, older, below publication thresholds or published without a Companies House identifier.

This is a privacy-reduced, exact-company subset. The full official register also includes sole traders and applicants without a matching Companies House number. Check the current Environment Agency register before relying on registration status.
