This Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement is a response to Section 54(1), Part 6 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and relates to actions and activities for the financial year ending 30 September 2023.

Creamline Dairies Limited ('the Company', 'we', 'us' or 'our') is committed to preventing slavery and human trafficking violations in its own operations, its supply chain, and its products. We have zero tolerance towards slavery and require our supply chain to comply with our values.

We operate in the Dairy & Grocery sector.

The nature of our supply chains is as follows:-

  • Creamline has a milk distribution area that sees the milk procured from its own network of local farmers within a 35-mile average radius that both reduces the distribution carbon footprint and increases its knowledge of where the milk was produced.
  • Other raw materials are sourced from UK suppliers.
  • Finished products for resale are sourced via UK agents or suppliers.
