Corruption and Anti-Competitive Behaviour
Corruption and anti-competitive
behaviour are against our core
business values and against
the law. We believe in acting
fairly and ethically so that our
customers benefit from more
choice and protection, and this is
a core principle of operating as a
responsible business.
Our approach
Nomad Foods complies with all relevant
international and local laws on bribery, corruption
and anti-competitive behaviour. Our Code of
Business Principles, Anti-Bribery and Corruption
Policy, Gifts and Hospitality Policy and Supplier
Code of Conduct all contain sections on bribery
and corruption. We tackle anti-competitive
behaviour in our Code of Business Principles and
our Competition and Anti-Trust Policy. We also
provide a helpline—SafeCall—for employees
to speak out about any signs of misconduct. The
helpline is managed by an independent third party,
with the option of making reports anonymously.
In 2017, we updated our Code of Business
Principles, and in 2018 we made it more accessible
for staff through a new easy-to-understand
format. The Code of Business Principles sets out our
commitment to do business in a transparent and
ethical way. Through an e-learning programme we
have trained more than 1850 staff in all our offices
on the Code. We are in the process of providing
specific training on anti-competitive behaviour
to our sales team and have already started this
training in our main markets.
To make sure that our suppliers also meet our
standards, in 2018 we rolled out our updated
Supplier Code of Conduct to our supplier
base. The majority of our suppliers have now
reconfirmed their compliance with our standards
and requirements, and we are following up with
suppliers who still have gaps.
