Quiznos Extends Social Responsibility Standards to Supply Partners

NEWS FACTS

• Quiznos suppliers have helped the company take steps toward addressing a wide range of ethical concerns including improving animal welfare and farm-worker conditions:
•  
  
  • Over the past two years, Quiznos has given preference to egg producers utilizing cage-free management systems and continues to evaluate opportunities to become more involved with the cause; the company plans to purchase at least 10 percent of its egg supply from cage-free producers within the next five years
  • As part of the Supplier Code of Conduct, Quiznos is initiating a program for able suppliers to pay an additional penny per pound for Florida round tomatoes supplied to its U.S. restaurants

• Quiznos is dedicated to providing a quality working environment for its own employees and calls on its suppliers to honor the same practices by offering sound working conditions and proper notification to employees regarding company updates and policies. The new Supplier Code of Conduct takes a strong stance against any act of discrimination, child labor or forced and indentured labor.

• With the help of its suppliers, packaging at Quiznos has recently taken on a new look and feel by using more environmentally responsible materials. By updating items like its cups, plates, napkins -- and even uniforms -- Quiznos is working to minimize its impact on the environment and encourage other businesses to follow suit. Continuing its commitment to be more eco-friendly, Quiznos will be migrating all of its stores from plastic bags to recyclable paper bags next month.

• While Quiznos is making strides in animal rights, farm-worker conditions and green packaging, the company is constantly looking for opportunities to innovate and evolve its practices in every area of its business.
