modern slavery &

human trafficking statement

Introduction

Little Moons’ vision is to pioneer a revolution in little treats that reward the open minded. We strive to lead that revolution whilst following high standards of ethical business practices.

We understand that food manufacturing and agricultural supply chains are high-risk industries for modern slavery. We also recognise that our business wouldn’t be what it is without the people who grow our ingredients, manufacture our products, and distribute our mochi around the world.

This Statement outlines Little Moons’ commitment to preventing slavery, human trafficking, and broader human rights issues in our business activities, and explains the steps we have in place to identify and manage modern slavery and human trafficking risks.

We have zero tolerance towards modern slavery and human trafficking. We are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in our business dealings and relationships, and to implementing and enforcing effective systems and controls to prevent these practices. Our aim is to ensure there is no slavery or human trafficking in our direct or indirect business operations.

This Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement relates to actions and activities during the 2026 financial year (ending December 31st 2026).

Governance

We ensure this Statement is updated annually to reflect our progress in addressing modern slavery risks. Responsibility for updating this Statement sits cross-functionally, reflecting how human rights impact many aspects of Little Moons’ business. We ensure this Statement is reviewed and approved by our Board of Directors.

Organisation structure and supply chains

As of the end of 2025, Little Moons has over 250 permanent employees across our offices in the UK and Germany, and our factory in the UK. In addition to our employees, we use a small number of agency workers when volume requires.

In 2025, Little Moons produced over 150 million mochi per year, selling over 25 flavours of chilled and frozen mochi in more than 45 countries. Our packaging is sourced from 12 suppliers, and our ingredients are sourced from 45 suppliers, who in turn source from over 90 countries.

Policies, training, due diligence and risk management

Our Team

We believe that awareness and education are crucial in combating modern slavery and human trafficking. We are committed to providing training to our employees to ensure they understand the signs of modern slavery and human trafficking, know how to report any concerns, and are aware of our policies and procedures to address such issues.

All new employees complete an online training course during their onboarding to the business. We ensure our People policies, such as modern slavery, whistleblowing and gifts and anti-corruption, bribery, are made easily accessible throughout employment via our online HR platform.

We ensure all labour agencies who are required to hold a Gangmaster and Labour Abuse Authorities License are audited for this certificate, which guarantees that our worker agencies meet employment standards for our Movers and Makers.

We ensure a confidential whistleblowing helpline is maintained for all employees to report unethical practices, and acknowledge receipt of query within 5 working days. In 2025, we conducted the Sedex SAQ for our factory to ensure our practices have a third party assessment.

2. Our ingredient and packaging suppliers

We require all new and existing ingredient and packaging suppliers complete a Supplier Approval Questionnaire, which provides us with an in-depth understanding of the supplier and their sourcing origins. Suppliers are only approved once this information has been provided.

Little Moons has a Code of Conduct that outlines our ethical, social, and environmental expectations of Suppliers, which all suppliers sign as part of the approval process.

We maintain a country of origin social and environmental risk for our ingredients and mitigate high risks through supplier engagement and audit assurance.

Performance and progress

Whilst we are proud of the work we do to identify, manage, and prevent human rights risks, there is more we can do to have a positive impact on the livelihoods of our employees and those in our value chain.

In 2026, we will:
