Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Statement

Our Commitment
At Honest Pups Ltd, we recognise that our responsibility extends beyond producing high-quality dog food. As a UK-based supplier, we are committed to operating ethically, sustainably and transparently, while positively contributing to animal welfare, our communities, and the environment.

Our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) framework guides how we make decisions, source ingredients, support our people, and reduce our environmental impact, ensuring that we operate in a way that benefits dogs, owners, and society as a whole.

Animal Welfare & Product Responsibility
The wellbeing of dogs is at the heart of everything we do. We are committed to producing nutritionally balanced, safe, and responsibly formulated dog food, meeting or exceeding UK and EU feed safety standards. All products are manufactured in facilities that comply with UK food safety regulations, including HACCP and DEFRA guidelines. We do not test on animals, and we ensure that our ingredients are sourced from suppliers who uphold high animal welfare standards. We prioritise traceability and transparency, enabling us to maintain full oversight of our supply chain.

Ethical Sourcing & Supply Chain
We work closely with trusted suppliers to ensure ethical and responsible sourcing. We seek suppliers who demonstrate strong standards in animal welfare, labour practices, and environmental responsibility. Where possible, we source ingredients from UK and European suppliers to reduce food miles and support local economies. We require our partners to comply with applicable UK employment laws, human rights standards, and health and safety regulations. We do not tolerate forced labour, child labour, or unethical practices within our supply chain.

Environmental Responsibility
We are committed to minimising our environmental footprint and supporting a more sustainable future. We actively work to reduce waste across our operations, including responsible management of raw materials and packaging. We aim to increase the use of recyclable, recyclable-ready, or responsibly sourced packaging wherever feasible. We monitor and seek to reduce energy and water usage within our production and distribution processes. We continuously review opportunities to lower carbon emissions, including logistics optimisation and supplier selection.

Our People
Our employees are fundamental to our success. We provide a safe, inclusive, and respectful working environment for all team members. We comply fully with UK employment legislation, including fair pay, working hours, and health and safety standards. We promote equality, diversity and inclusion, ensuring that all employees are treated with dignity and respect. We support professional development and encourage open communication throughout the organisation.

Community & Social Impact
As a responsible business, we aim to make a positive contribution to the communities we operate in. We support animal welfare initiatives, charities, and rescue organisations where possible. We seek to collaborate with local communities, suppliers, and partners to create shared value. We encourage ethical pet ownership through education and transparency around nutrition and care.

Governance & Ethics
Strong governance underpins our CSR commitments. We operate with integrity, transparency, and accountability in all aspects of our business. We comply with all applicable UK laws and regulations, including those relating to food safety, employment, and environmental protection. We maintain clear policies to prevent bribery, corruption, and unethical business practices. We regularly review our CSR practices to ensure continuous improvement and alignment with best practice.

Continuous Improvement
We recognise that Corporate Social Responsibility is an ongoing journey. We are committed to regularly reviewing and improving our CSR policies and performance. We welcome feedback from customers, partners, and stakeholders to help us improve. As our business grows, we aim to strengthen our sustainability initiatives and social impact further. Honest Pups Ltd believes that responsible business practices are essential to long-term success. By acting ethically and sustainably, we strive to deliver high-quality nutrition for dogs while making a positive contribution to society and the environment.
