Do you have a recent audit including your ethical trading policy that you can forward to me.
We are at risk of losing our customer who takes 10,000lb of 10 Green & 12 Green at the start of each year, below is part of an email received from them.

As the majority of these bands will end up in UK supermarkets I have to ensure that our suppliers are signed up to an Ethical Trading policy, ideally this would be SEDEX.
Any natural materials have to come from proven sustainable sources. Can you let me know whether you are Sedex members or members of a similar organisation and confirm that the source for the rubber is sustainable?
Do you have any supporting evidence that rubber has come from a sustainable source as well?
Thanks for your help with this.
The other item we are in desperate need of is an up to date Food Safety Certificate, similar to that produced for you by SGS some years ago.
Selling Rubber Bands these days has changed so much, so much paperwork all the time.
Kind regards
Martin
