Ethical Sourcing and Preventing Modern Slavery

Brews and Beans is a coffee roasting company based in Auckland, New Zealand, with a strong focus on providing freshly roasted, ethically sourced coffee and organic teas. We work closely with farmers and suppliers worldwide, ensuring that our products are produced in line with ethical standards.

We are dedicated to sourcing coffee beans and tea from suppliers who share our values around fair labour practices, sustainability, and respect for human rights. Our direct relationships with reputable suppliers enable us to have better visibility and control over our supply chain, which is crucial in ensuring that no forced labor, child labor, or exploitation occurs.

Supplier Audits and Assessments: We conduct regular due diligence on suppliers to ensure compliance with local labour laws and international standards for human rights. Supplier Code of Conduct: We expect all our suppliers to adhere to our ethical sourcing policy, which explicitly prohibits the use of forced labour, child labour, or any form of exploitation. Long-term Relationships: We prioritise working with suppliers who are committed to fair labor practices and maintaining transparency in their operations. Risk Assessment and Management We recognise that the agricultural sector can be susceptible to human rights abuses, particularly in regions where labour standards may vary. Therefore, we regularly assess our supply chain for risks of modern slavery and focus on building relationships with suppliers who actively promote ethical working conditions.

​We ensure that our team members, especially those involved in procurement, are trained to recognise the signs of modern slavery and are aware of our commitment to preventing it. This includes staying informed about global trends and potential risks associated with the coffee and tea industries.

We are committed to continually improving our processes to prevent modern slavery, regularly reviewing our policies, and engaging with industry partners to share best practices.

Brews and Beans is dedicated to ensuring that our business and supply chain remain free from any form of modern slavery. We will continue to promote fair and ethical labour practices as we grow and evolve, standing firm in our belief that every business should contribute to a just and equitable global economy.
