The committee comprises the chairman and two other non-executive colleagues, as well as group chief executive, the chief human resources officer and chief legal officer.
Their Purpose and Values and their Business Principles set out their beliefs and the framework for behaviors throughout all Cadbury Schweppes companies. Their Supplier Code and their international Human Rights and Ethical Trading Policy set out the values by which they do business with their partners, suppliers and customers with whom they share a responsibility for ensuring high standards throughout the value chain. These policies have been developed taking into account the highest global standards - such as the International Labour Organization conventions and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights - as well as cultural and legal best practice from our local markets.
