Pickstock Telford has broken ground on a major new beef processing facility in Ecclefechan, Dumfries and Galloway.

Business Ethics and Anti-Bribery

At Pickstock, we are committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness and transparency at every level of our operations. We believe in doing things properly. This means not only producing high-quality British beef, but also upholding the highest standards of business ethics.

Pickstock is committed to acting professionally, fairly and with integrity in all our business dealings and relationships, wherever we operate, and to implementing and enforcing effective systems to counter bribery. We remain bound by the laws of the UK, including the Bribery Act 2010, in respect of our conduct both at home and abroad.

We have a zero-tolerance approach to bribery and corruption. All employees, suppliers, and partners are expected to act honestly and responsibly, ensuring that every decision we make is based on merit, fairness and respect for the law.

As part of our commitment, we also support the principles of the Ethical Trading Initiative (ETI) Base Code, which sets globally recognised standards for labour practices. This includes ensuring safe working conditions, fair pay, respect for workers’ rights and equal opportunities for all.

By working to these standards, we aim to build trust with our customers, partners and colleagues, while contributing to a fair and sustainable supply chain.

At Pickstock, doing the right thing isn’t optional. It’s how we do business.
