Ethics & Compliance

Ethics & Compliance

Since we were founded in 2015, Lionheart has worked on the belief that buyers, partners and communities need to trust what we say and what we do.

We work to build a culture of respect and cooperation with our host community, our partner farmers and our team, focused on shared standards that are audited, documented and open to question.

We don't offer, pay, request or accept bribes or improper payments, directly or through anyone acting for us.

Fair Dealing

We deal fairly with buyers, suppliers and partner farmers, with clear terms and on-time payment.

Conflicts of Interest

Team members and directors declare any personal interest that could affect a business decision, and step back from that decision.

Privacy

We collect only the personal data we need, protect it, and use it only for the purpose it was given.
