Rooted in Responsibility. Growing with Purpose.

At Lincolnshire Herbs, we believe business should benefit people. From ethical employment and strong local partnerships to learning and wellbeing, our commitment to social responsibility runs deep.

Supporting Our Local Community

We’re proud to call Lincolnshire home—and we’re passionate about giving back to the communities around us. Whether it’s opening our glasshouses to local schools or working with nearby partners on shared sustainability goals, we believe in making a positive difference close to where we grow.

Engaging the Next Generation

We regularly welcome visits from local schools, offering pupils a hands-on learning experience about sustainable farming, British food production, and the journey from seed to shelf.

• Interactive tours of our glasshouses and growing facilities

• Educational sessions on plant science, sustainability, and healthy eating

• Career inspiration for young people interested in agriculture and food

We aim to spark curiosity, encourage environmental awareness, and promote careers in horticulture and agri-tech—sectors critical to the future of food and farming in the UK.

Local Partnerships with Purpose

We collaborate with community groups, charities, and local suppliers to support initiatives that benefit the region. From food waste reduction and resource sharing to wellbeing campaigns, we’re committed to being a responsible neighbour and employer.

• Supporting local events and causes

• Partnering with local growers and service providers

• Offering work experience and employment opportunities to local residents

Acting Ethically, Always

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 meet and exceed the requirements of ethical audit standards, including SMETA and BRC.

Responsible Sourcing

• We build long-term, trust-based relationships with growers in the UK and overseas.

• We source responsibly to support sustainable livelihoods, reduce risk, and uphold high environmental and social standards.

• 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.

While we don’t directly contribute, we align with and benefit from the wider Group’s commitment to improving lives through education, wellbeing, and sustainable development in agricultural regions. Through this connection, we remain part of a responsible supply chain that supports people both locally and globally.

Our Commitment to Ethics

At Lincolnshire Herbs, people come first. Whether you’re applying for your first job or growing your career with us, you can expect to be treated fairly, respectfully, and ethically every step of the way.

Fair and Responsible Employment

• We partner only with approved labour providers who meet strict ethical and legal standards.

• We ensure all workers—permanent and agency—receive fair pay, safe working conditions, and access to their employment rights.

• We are proud to uphold global ethical standards through regular SMETA and BRC audits.

A Culture of Integrity

We foster a culture where honesty, accountability, and doing the right thing are non-negotiable. Our people know they are valued, heard, and supported—because respect and transparency aren’t just policies, they’re principles.
