At Lincolnshire Herbs, ethics aren’t an add-on—they’re embedded in the way we do business. From how we treat people to how we source our herbs, we are committed to operating with fairness, transparency, and respect at every level.

Ethical Employment

  • We work closely with approved labour providers to ensure fair, safe, and legal working conditions.

  • All workers are treated with dignity and respect, with clear access to rights, support, and grievance procedures.

  • We do not engage in or tolerate any form of exploitation, modern slavery, or unsafe labour practices.

A Culture of Integrity

We hold ourselves and our partners accountable to doing the right thing—even when no one’s watching. That includes compliance with UK legislation, global ethical trading standards, and a strong internal commitment to honesty, responsibility, and doing good business the right way.

Part of a Wider Social Commitment – The Gavia Foundation

As part of the SPISA Group, Lincolnshire Herbs supports the vision of the Gavia Foundation, which funds social impact initiatives in herb-growing communities worldwide.

Through this connection, we remain part of a responsible supply chain that supports people both locally and globally.
