What is JEDI? Justice, Equity, Diversity, Inclusion.
The Root Co. aims to build a better world. We are a small UK ginger beer start-up, but our supply chain is global. Our suppliers, customers and employees span several communities, and our decisions influence people's opportunities and experiences day-to-day.
We are especially accountable to our farmers and their communities in East Africa, whose livelihoods do, in part, stem from our sourcing of ginger. We recognise the power imbalance between supplier (farmers) and customer (us) in this context.
We aim to treat all of our stakeholders with respect, recognising that some may face barriers, e.g. opportunity, income, disability and language. We incorporate these principles of fairness into every policy and decision we take.
