Simplot Australia Sustainability Actions

Simplot Australia released its second Modern Slavery Statement in March 2022

Simplot Australia has released its first Modern Slavery Statement, which outlines the actions we are taking and the areas we will continue to focus on to address this complex issue. At Simplot, we are committed to upholding human rights and contributing to a better future. Modern slavery practices, including human trafficking, forced labour, debt bondage, forced marriage, and other abuses of fundamental human rights, are unacceptable.

WWF Australia Partnership

In 2012, Simplot Australia's John West brand formed an important partnership with WWF-Australia, one of the world’s largest and most respected independent conservation organisations. Since then Simplot has worked with WWF-Australia helping us to protect our oceans together.
