Fighting against forced and child labour
in supply chains
Qualico is dedicated to ensuring human rights are protected and the risk of forced labour or child labour is eliminated in our operations and supply chain, as outlined by the Fighting Against Forced and Child Labour in Supply Chains Act.

Three Generations of connections
to our impact areas

Our contributions need to allow lasting and practical impact but be relevant to a modern workforce and the company leadership. Underpinning this, while in the third generation of leadership, our giving must always stay true to the giving philosophy of our Founders.
