Our approach is simple. We believe business should be a force for good and being socially responsible we are fully supportive of the UK Modern Slavery Act and the transparency it encourages.

SOHO Coffee Co. is opposed to all forms of human trafficking and slavery and takes all necessary steps to ensure the promotion of sound, moral and ethical practices throughout the whole of its business.

We recognise we are on a journey; that Modern Slavery is a complex issue which requires our constant review. We are learning and are on a path of continuous improvement as our understanding grows.

Ethical sourcing, environmental responsibility and traceability are key components for our partners.

Right now, we are committed to ensuring that there is no modern slavery or human trafficking within our supply chain. We require our supply chain partners adhere to the requirements of the Modern Slavery Act 2015.
