Our Impact
FNET strives to achieve improved livelihoods and working conditions of people within, and communities affected by, the operations and supply chains of member organisations.
Theory of Change.
FNET’s work is guided by a three-year strategy and Theory of Change. The Theory of Change was developed in 2024 in a consultative process with members, the board and the technical team.
The Theory of Change underpins FNET’s five core workstreams, priorities and ways of working. It highlights three core outcomes of FNET’s collaborative work.
Our stories
FNET creates a safe and collaborative space for food companies across the supply chain to share and learn from each other in order to improve human rights for workers in their operations and supply chains.
Fiona McKerrow
Ethical & Compliance Manager
Dole UK joined FNET to seek out and explore the opportunities to network with likeminded businesses. The FNET membership allows us to openly discuss salient risks within our supply chain without judgement, provide practical solutions to shared challenges and allow us to exchange our collective intelligence with external stakeholders such as NGOs, industry bodies and Government.
Fiona Wheatley
Central Responsible Sourcing Manager
FNET fortnightly discussions offer deep insight on emerging supply chain human rights risks. The working groups focus on specific topics such as Risk Assessment or Responsible Recruitment, to highlight common challenges and offer both strategic and operational advice to all shapes of business in the UK food supply chain.
Deevah Kumari Parikh

Our FNET membership supports us to drive positive change for human rights in our supply chains by providing a space to collaborate with other industry stakeholders. Through this we have been able to share our learnings whilst also hearing from other experts in the field.
Andy York
Human Rights Manager
FNET has been key to our journey on Human Rights. Really important in guiding our direction of work and where we can work across sectors and other businesses and support our wider supply chain and food industry
