Our Commitment
to a Better World
TT Meridian understands the critical importance of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) principles in modern business. Sustainability is not an afterthought — it is woven into every decision we make.
ESG at the Heart
of Everything We Do
We believe that responsible business and commercial success are not in conflict — they reinforce each other. Our ESG framework guides how we select partners, structure our operations, and measure our impact.
Environmental
We are committed to minimising our environmental footprint and working with supply chain partners who share this commitment.
- Preference for partners with certified environmental management systems
- Optimised logistics routing to reduce carbon emissions per shipment
- Packaging reduction and sustainable materials wherever possible
- Support for Vietnamese producers using sustainable agricultural practices
- Ongoing review of our own operational carbon footprint
Social
We champion fair, dignified conditions throughout our supply chain — from Vietnamese farm and factory to UK warehouse and retailer.
- Zero tolerance for forced labour, child labour, or worker exploitation
- Preference for suppliers with verified fair wage and safe working conditions
- Support for small and family-run Vietnamese producers
- Promoting cultural understanding and Vietnamese heritage in UK/EU markets
- Diversity and inclusion within our own team and business practices
Governance
We uphold the highest standards of business ethics, transparency and compliance in all our commercial activities.
- Full compliance with UK and EU import/export regulations
- Anti-bribery and anti-corruption policy applied to all transactions
- Rigorous supplier due diligence and onboarding verification process
- Clear data protection and privacy standards (GDPR compliant)
- Transparent pricing and commercial terms for all partners
Professional, Responsible
Partners Only
At TT Meridian, we have made an unconditional commitment: we work exclusively with professional, well-established, and socially responsible partners. This is not a preference — it is a prerequisite.
Supplier Due Diligence
Every supplier undergoes a thorough vetting process covering legal compliance, labour practices, environmental standards and financial stability.
Supplier Code of Conduct
All suppliers must agree to and abide by our Supplier Code of Conduct, which aligns with international ESG standards and UK Modern Slavery Act requirements.
Continuous Improvement
We work collaboratively with our partner network to identify and implement ongoing sustainability improvements across the supply chain.
Transparency & Reporting
We are committed to transparent communication with stakeholders about our ESG progress, challenges, and plans for improvement.
What We Look for in a Supplier
Our supplier selection is governed by strict criteria that go well beyond product quality. Every TT Meridian partner must demonstrate:
Established Operations
Proven track record with verifiable business registration, production history, and commercial references.
Fair Labour Practices
Safe working conditions, fair wages, and zero tolerance for any form of worker exploitation or child labour.
Legal Compliance
Full compliance with Vietnamese and international trade regulations, food safety standards, and export requirements.
Environmental Awareness
Active measures to reduce environmental impact, manage waste responsibly, and minimise resource consumption.
Quality Assurance
Consistent product quality backed by certification, testing, and traceable quality management processes.
Chain of Custody
Full transparency and traceability of raw materials, ingredients, and production processes from source to shipment.
Aligned with Global Sustainability Goals
TT Meridian's sustainability commitments align with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Through our work connecting Vietnamese producers with European markets, we directly contribute to several SDGs.
By supporting small Vietnamese producers, promoting fair trade, reducing food waste through efficient logistics, and building economically sustainable supply chains, we see every trade as an opportunity to create positive impact beyond commerce.
Our Modern Slavery Statement
TT Meridian is committed to combating modern slavery and human trafficking in all its forms. We acknowledge our responsibilities under the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015 and take active steps to ensure that slavery and human trafficking are not taking place in our business or supply chains.
Our supplier vetting process includes specific screening for labour rights compliance. We have a zero-tolerance policy toward any supplier found to have knowingly or unknowingly facilitated modern slavery or labour exploitation.
