Morrisons Military Audit

1. Executive Summary

1.1 Scope and Objective

This forensic audit report was commissioned to evaluate the military, geopolitical, and ethical complicity of Wm Morrisons Supermarkets PLC (“Morrisons”) and its parent equity firm, Clayton, Dubilier & Rice (CD&R), regarding the State of Israel, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), and the occupation of Palestinian territories. The objective is to move beyond superficial brand association and rigorously map the flow of capital, technology, and logistical support that connects a British grocery retailer to the military-industrial complex of the Eastern Mediterranean.

The investigation operates under a strictly defined “Military Complicity” framework, assessing entities not merely on their public relations statements but on their operational realities. This involves a dual-track analysis:

1. Direct Military Sustainment: Investigating the manufacturing and supply of kinetic hardware, weaponry, or essential maintenance services to the IDF or the Israeli Ministry of Defense (IMOD).
2. Economic and Logistical Normalization: Assessing the retail sourcing of goods from illegal settlements, the deployment of surveillance technologies developed by military-adjacent firms, and the integration of supply chains that obscure the origins of products extracted from occupied lands.

1.2 Strategic Assessment

The audit concludes that the corporate structure comprising Morrisons and CD&R presents a Critical level of complicity. While Morrisons functions publicly as a civilian retailer, its financial and operational existence is inextricable from CD&R, a private equity giant that has actively consolidated aerospace defense manufacturing.

The findings indicate a bifurcation of risk:

• The Parent Entity (CD&R): Exhibits Direct Military Complicity. Through its portfolio company, Pursuit Aerospace, CD&R controls a critical node in the supply chain for the F-35 Lightning II and F-15 Eagle fighter jets—platforms that constitute the backbone of the Israeli Air Force’s (IAF) aerial bombardment capabilities. Direct Foreign Military Sales (FMS) contracts exist between CD&R-owned entities and the Israeli military apparatus.
• The Subsidiary (Morrisons): Exhibits Civilian-Economic Complicity. The retailer sustains the economic viability of illegal Israeli settlements through the sourcing of agricultural products (dates, avocados, citrus) from state-backed exporters like Hadiklaim and Mehadrin. Furthermore, Morrisons actively normalizes military-grade surveillance technology through its “Project Sarah” partnership with the Israeli firm Trigo, importing computer vision systems derived from the Israeli security sector into the UK civilian sphere.

1.3 Complicity Risk Matrix

The following matrix synthesizes the audit’s core findings, categorizing the identified vectors of complicity by severity and operational domain.

2. Corporate Architecture and Financial Nexus

To understand the full scope of Morrisons’ complicity, one must look beyond the shelves of its supermarkets and examine the financial architecture that governs it. In October 2021, Morrisons was acquired by the US private equity firm Clayton, Dubilier & Rice (CD&R) in a transaction valued at approximately £7 billion.¹ This acquisition delisted Morrisons from the public exchange, effectively privatizing its operations and shielding its strategic pivots from the immediate transparency required of public limited companies.

The complicity of Morrisons is, therefore, transitive. The profits generated by UK shoppers buying groceries provide the liquidity and collateral that allow CD&R to service the debt and expand the operations of its broader portfolio—a portfolio that has aggressively pivoted toward the defense and aerospace sectors.³

2.1 The Private Equity Philosophy: Operationalizing Warfare

CD&R promotes a strategy of “building stronger, more profitable businesses” through “operational excellence”.⁶ While seemingly benign, in the context of defense manufacturing, this philosophy translates to optimizing the production rates of lethal aid. CD&R Operating Partner Roberto Quarta has emphasized that private equity must be “strategic” and provide “capital and capabilities purpose-built to solve operational challenges”.⁷

When applied to CD&R’s defense holdings, this means streamlining the supply chains that deliver engine parts to the Israeli Air Force. The firm does not merely hold these assets passively; it actively restructures them to increase output and efficiency. The creation of Pursuit Aerospace is the primary manifestation of this strategy.

2.2 The Creation of Pursuit Aerospace

In February 2023, CD&R, in partnership with Greenbriar Equity Group, executed a strategic merger of two major aerospace suppliers: Whitcraft Group and Paradigm Precision.³ The resulting entity, Pursuit Aerospace, is a global manufacturing giant specializing in complex aircraft engine components.

This merger was not a random diversification; it was a calculated move to create a “scaled and diversified manufacturer” capable of meeting the demands of major Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) like Pratt & Whitney and Lockheed Martin.⁵ By consolidating Whitcraft and Paradigm, CD&R created a vendor indispensable to the production of the F-35 and F-15 engines—assets that are currently engaged in high-intensity combat operations in Gaza and Lebanon.

3. Direct Military Complicity: The Aerospace Link (CD&R)

The audit has identified Pursuit Aerospace as the “smoking gun” in the investigation of CD&R’s military complicity. Unlike retail supply chains which can be opaque, the aerospace defense supply chain is rigid, documented, and lethal. Pursuit Aerospace produces specific, identifiable components for the propulsion systems of the aircraft used by the Israeli Air Force.

3.1 The F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (F135 Engine)

The F-35 Lightning II (designated Adir by the IAF) is the most advanced platform in the Israeli arsenal, used for deep-strike capabilities, surveillance, and air superiority. The aircraft is powered by the Pratt & Whitney F135 engine, a propulsion system of immense complexity requiring specialized, high-tolerance components.

• Manufacturing Role: Pursuit Aerospace is a key supplier for the F135 engine program.⁸ The company manufactures complex fabrications, including static structures and precision-formed metal components that must withstand the extreme thermal and kinetic stresses of a 5th-generation fighter engine.³
• Operational Relevance: The F135 engine allows the F-35 to perform Short Takeoff and Vertical Landing (STOVL) operations (in the B variant) and maintain stealth profiles. The IAF utilizes the F-35I for strikes that evade radar detection. By supplying the “ruggedized” and “mil-spec” components necessary for this engine’s operation, Pursuit Aerospace provides the material conditions required for the aircraft’s continued airworthiness.¹⁰
• Complicity Assessment: This constitutes Direct Logistical Sustainment. Without the specific high-tolerance parts manufactured by CD&R’s subsidiary, the F135 supply chain would face bottlenecks, potentially grounding aircraft.

3.2 The F-15 Eagle and F-16 Fighting Falcon (F100 Engine)

While the F-35 represents the future, the F-15 Eagle (F-15I Ra’am) and F-16 Fighting Falcon (F-16I Sufa) remain the workhorses of the IAF’s bombardment campaigns. These aircraft are powered by variants of the Pratt & Whitney F100 engine.

• Direct Foreign Military Sales (FMS): The audit uncovered specific contracting data linking Paradigm Precision (now Pursuit Aerospace) directly to the Israeli military. A contract awarded to Paradigm Precision involved “foreign military sales to Israel” for the support of F100 engine models 220 and 229.¹²
• Specific Material Support: The contract explicitly details the delivery of “divergent nozzle segment seal assembly parts”.¹²
  • Technical Context: The divergent nozzle is the aft-most section of a jet engine, critical for controlling the expansion of exhaust gases to generate thrust, particularly during afterburner use. The “seal assemblies” are consumable, high-wear components essential for maintaining pressure integrity.
  • Operational Implication: A failure in nozzle seals results in a loss of thrust efficiency and can render an aircraft combat-ineffective. The supply of these specific spares ensures that the IAF’s F-15 and F-16 fleets can sustain high-tempo sortie rates.
• Direct Contractual Nexus: This is not a case of a component moving through a third-party distributor. The FMS mechanism implies a direct government-to-government transaction where CD&R’s subsidiary is the named prime contractor delivering goods destined for the Israeli Ministry of Defense.¹²

3.3 Veritiv and Dual-Use Logistics

In 2023, CD&R acquired Veritiv, a leading provider of packaging and logistics solutions.¹³ While Veritiv is primarily a B2B commercial entity, its integration into the CD&R portfolio alongside defense manufacturers raises questions regarding dual-use logistics.

• Logistical Capabilities: Veritiv specializes in “rigid packaging” and facility solutions.¹⁵ In a defense context, specialized packaging is required for the transport of munitions, sensitive avionics, and hazardous materials.
• Expansion: Veritiv’s recent acquisition of Orora Packaging Solutions ¹⁶ significantly expands its North American footprint. While direct evidence of Veritiv shipping munitions to Israel is less definitive than the Pursuit Aerospace engine contracts, the company’s infrastructure is perfectly positioned to support the logistical tail of the defense industry.
• Clarification on “SCD”: It is noted that CD&R has invested in an entity referred to as “SCD” in some financial filings. Forensic review clarifies that this refers to Surgery Center Development (healthcare), not the Israeli defense contractor Semiconductor Devices (SCD).¹⁷ The Israeli SCD is jointly owned by Elbit Systems and Rafael.¹⁹ However, the distinction is vital: CD&R does not own the Israeli sensor maker, but its subsidiary Pursuit Aerospace likely integrates with the platforms (like the F-35) that utilize SCD’s sensors, creating a symbiotic ecosystem of defense suppliers.

4. Retail Complicity: The Economics of Occupation (Morrisons)

Shifting focus from the parent entity to the subsidiary, Morrisons Supermarkets PLC engages in a form of complicity that is economic and normative. Through its supply chain choices, Morrisons sustains the financial viability of illegal Israeli settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT). Despite repeated engagement from human rights groups and clear guidance from the UK Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (DEFRA) regarding labeling, Morrisons has maintained trade relationships with exporters deeply embedded in the settlement enterprise.

4.1 The Date Trade: Hadiklaim and “Origin Laundering”

The most persistent violation identified involves the sourcing of Medjoul dates. Israel is the world’s largest exporter of Medjoul dates, with a significant portion of the crop grown in the Jordan Valley—occupied territory where industrial settlement agriculture consumes the vast majority of water resources, effectively desiccating Palestinian farmland.²⁰

4.1.1 The Hadiklaim Connection

Morrisons has a long-standing procurement relationship with Hadiklaim, the Israeli Date Growers’ Cooperative. Hadiklaim includes growers from illegal settlements such as Tomer, Beit Ha’Arava, and Massua.²¹

• The Tomer Scandal: Investigations revealed that Morrisons’ own-brand dates, labeled “Produce of Israel,” were physically packaged in the settlement of Tomer.²² When confronted with photographic evidence of discarded Morrisons labels found inside the settlement, the company admitted that dates were packed there “exceptionally” due to site availability issues.²³ This admission confirms that Morrisons’ supply chain has physically traversed illegal settlements.
• Current Brands: Morrisons continues to stock “Jordan River” and “King Solomon” dates.²⁵ These are the flagship export brands of Hadiklaim. By stocking these brands, Morrisons provides a direct retail channel for settlement produce to enter the UK market, bypassing ethical consumer boycotts through brand recognition.

4.1.2 The Mechanism of Labeling Fraud

The audit identifies a systemic issue of “origin laundering.” Israeli exporters frequently label produce grown in the West Bank as “Produce of Israel” to avoid EU/UK customs tariffs and consumer backlash.²²

• Auditing Failure: Morrisons claims to perform “random traceability checks”.²³ However, the reliance on data provided by suppliers like Hadiklaim—who have a vested interest in obscuring the settlement origin—renders these checks ineffective. The persistence of mislabeled settlement goods suggests that Morrisons’ auditing is either incompetent or willfully blind to the political geography of its supply chain.

4.2 Fresh Produce: Mehadrin and Galilee Export

Beyond dates, Morrisons’ fresh produce aisles heavily feature goods from Israeli agricultural conglomerates that exploit occupied land.

• Mehadrin: As Israel’s largest grower and exporter of citrus (under the famous Jaffa brand) and avocados, Mehadrin operates extensive orchards in the occupied West Bank and Golan Heights.²⁰ Morrisons has been documented stocking Mehadrin-supplied citrus and avocados.²⁸ The company has also been implicated in supplying water to settlements while Palestinian communities face shortages, making trade with Mehadrin an act of complicity in resource theft.²⁰
• Galilee Export: The second-largest exporter of fresh produce, specifically avocados. Galilee Export operates packing houses in the occupied Golan Heights. Morrisons has been identified as a stockist of Galilee avocados as recently as 2024.²⁹
• Miriam Shoham: Morrisons has stocked pomegranates from this supplier, whose packing infrastructure is located in the occupied Golan Heights.²⁰

4.3 Flower World and Agricultural Imports

Morrisons owns Flower World, a wholesale flower business acquired to vertically integrate its floral supply chain.³⁰ Israel is a major exporter of cut flowers (often waxflowers and ruscus). While specific shipment data for Flower World is less granular than for food, the acquisition brings Morrisons “closer to growers”.³⁰ If these growers are located in the Negev or settlement blocs, the direct ownership of the importer removes any buffer between Morrisons and the primary producers, increasing the risk of direct settlement support.

5. Technological Complicity: The “Project Sarah” Surveillance Nexus

A distinct and growing vector of complicity is the integration of Israeli military-grade technology into Morrisons’ civilian infrastructure. This phenomenon, often termed “Surveillance Capitalism,” involves the repurposing of tracking and identification technologies developed for security and occupation purposes into retail efficiency tools.

5.1 “Project Sarah” and Trigo Vision

Morrisons has launched a pilot program for “frictionless” stores, internally codenamed “Project Sarah”.³¹ The technology partner for this initiative is Trigo, an Israeli computer vision company headquartered in Tel Aviv.³³

5.1.1 The Technology of Tracking

Trigo’s system utilizes a dense network of ceiling-mounted cameras and advanced AI algorithms to create a “digital twin” of the store.³²

• Mechanism: The system tracks every movement of every shopper, identifying products picked off shelves and automatically charging the customer upon exit.
• Military Lineage: The Israeli tech sector, particularly in computer vision and AI, is deeply intertwined with the IDF’s intelligence units (e.g., Unit 8200). Technologies designed for tracking targets in complex urban environments (like Gaza) are frequently adapted for tracking shoppers in retail environments.
• Normalization: By deploying Trigo, Morrisons normalizes the use of granular, biometric-level surveillance in public spaces. Furthermore, the contract provides financial validation and data sets to Trigo, strengthening the Israeli tech ecosystem which functions as a strategic reserve for the state’s defense capabilities.

5.2 Supply Chain Vulnerability: Blue Yonder

Morrisons’ reliance on high-tech supply chain management was highlighted by a recent ransomware attack on Blue Yonder, a Panasonic-owned software provider.³⁴ While Blue Yonder is not Israeli, the incident underscores Morrisons’ dependence on external digital infrastructure. The pivot to Trigo (“Project Sarah”) represents a specific choice to engage with the Israeli tech sector, distinct from its general IT relationships. This choice creates a revenue stream flowing from UK grocery sales directly to Tel Aviv-based tech firms.

6. Manufacturing and Logistics: Myton Food Group

Myton Food Group is the manufacturing arm of Morrisons, controlling 19 sites including Woodheads (meat) and Falfish (seafood).³⁶

6.1 Vertical Integration and Export Potential

Myton allows Morrisons to control its supply chain “from field to fork”.³⁸

• Export Ambitions: Following the acquisition of Falfish, Myton has invested £12.8 million in a freezing center to expand its seafood export business.⁴⁰
• Complicity Risk: While currently focused on commercial exports to Europe and Asia ⁴², the capacity to process and freeze large volumes of protein (180 tonnes per day) ⁴⁰ makes Myton a potential logistical asset. In a scenario of expanded conflict, global logistics networks (like those managed by CD&R’s Veritiv) could theoretically leverage such production capacity for defense ration supply, though no current evidence supports this is happening.

6.2 Digital Twins and Energy

Myton has pioneered the use of IES digital twin technology to reduce energy consumption at its Winsford facility.⁴³ While “digital twin” is a term also used in defense simulation (and by Trigo), its application here appears strictly related to carbon footprint reduction and operational efficiency, constituting a low risk for military complicity.

7. Forensic Synthesis: Addressing Core Intelligence Requirements

This section directly answers the intelligence requirements posed by the user, synthesizing the evidence detailed above.

7.1 Direct Defense Contracting (KIR 1)

• Morrisons (Retail): Negative. No evidence exists of Morrisons Supermarkets contracting directly with the IMOD.
• CD&R (Parent): POSITIVE / CONFIRMED. Through its subsidiary Pursuit Aerospace, CD&R is a direct contractor for the Israeli military. The audit confirmed a Foreign Military Sales (FMS) contract for F100 engine components (nozzle seals) destined for Israel.¹² This is a definitive link connecting the parent company’s assets to the Israeli Ministry of Defense.

7.2 Dual-Use & Tactical Supply (KIR 2)

• Morrisons (Retail): POSITIVE (Soft). The Trigo surveillance system (“Project Sarah”) represents the dual-use application of military-grade computer vision in a civilian setting.
• CD&R (Parent): POSITIVE (Hard). Pursuit Aerospace manufactures “tight-tolerance” and “complex fabrications” for military jet engines.³ These are not civilian goods adapted for war; they are bespoke, mil-spec components designed specifically for platforms like the F-35 and F-15.

7.3 Logistical Sustainment (KIR 3)

• Morrisons (Retail): Negative. Morrisons does not supply IDF bases.
• CD&R (Parent): POSITIVE. The supply of spare parts (seals, nozzle assemblies) for the F-15 and F-16 fleets constitutes essential logistical sustainment.¹² Without these consumables, the operational readiness of the IAF fleet would degrade.

7.4 Supply Chain Integration (KIR 4)

• Morrisons (Retail): POSITIVE. The supermarket is integrated into the supply chains of Israeli settlement exporters (Hadiklaim, Mehadrin). The presence of “Jordan River” dates and “Jaffa” citrus confirms this integration.²⁸
• CD&R (Parent): POSITIVE. Pursuit Aerospace is a Tier 1/Tier 2 supplier to prime contractors Pratt & Whitney and Lockheed Martin.⁸ It is an integral gear in the machine that produces the F-35 Lightning II.

8. Complicity Scoring and Justification

Based on the forensic evidence gathered, Morrisons Supermarkets and its parent entity are assigned a Military Complicity Score on a scale of 0.0 to 10.0.

Military Complicity Score: 7.8 / 10.0

Score Breakdown

1. Retail Operations (Contribution: 3.0)

• Settlement Sourcing: The persistent stocking of Hadiklaim and Mehadrin products, despite knowledge of their settlement origins and historical scandals (Tomer), demonstrates a prioritization of profit over international law. This is a form of economic normalization that sustains the occupation infrastructure.
• Surveillance Tech: The partnership with Trigo imports IDF-adjacent technology into the UK, financially supporting the Israeli tech-security sector.

2. Parent Entity (CD&R) Defense Operations (Contribution: 4.8)

• Direct Combat Support: The ownership of Pursuit Aerospace is the decisive factor. The manufacturing of F135 engine components connects the entity to the F-35 program—the spearhead of current Israeli aerial operations.
• FMS Contracts: The existence of direct Foreign Military Sales contracts for F-15 components elevates the risk from “incidental investment” to “direct material support.” CD&R is profiting directly from the maintenance of the IAF’s bombardment fleet.

Justification

A standalone assessment of Morrisons as a grocer might yield a score of 3.5-4.0 based on settlement goods. However, forensic auditing requires the “Entity” to be defined by its beneficial ownership. Morrisons is a wholly-owned asset of CD&R. Profits from Morrisons contribute to the capital pool of a firm that is actively consolidating the aerospace defense supply chain. The shopper purchasing groceries at Morrisons is, via the mechanism of private equity leverage and cross-capitalization, interacting with a corporate structure that manufactures engine parts for the F-15 Eagle. The complicity is structural, financial, and kinetic.

9. Conclusion

The forensic audit establishes that Wm Morrisons Supermarkets PLC is not merely a bystander in the geopolitics of the Middle East. It serves as a dual-vector entity within a larger trans-Atlantic military-industrial structure.

On the consumer front, Morrisons acts as a marketplace of normalization, allowing the agricultural output of illegal settlements to reach British households under the guise of “Produce of Israel” or via brands like “Jordan River.” The supermarket’s repeated failures to audit its supply chain effectively—or its willingness to accept “exceptional” packing in illegal settlements—betrays a disregard for ethical trading standards regarding occupied territories.

However, the deeper and more critical complicity lies in the boardroom of its parent company, Clayton, Dubilier & Rice. Through the strategic creation and management of Pursuit Aerospace, CD&R has positioned itself as a vital supplier to the US-Israel war machine. The production of nozzle seals for F-15s and engine structures for F-35s is not a peripheral business activity; it is a core function of the industrial portfolio that Morrisons’ revenues help to stabilize.

Therefore, for the purpose of military complicity assessment, Morrisons cannot be decoupled from Pursuit Aerospace. They are two arms of the same organism. One feeds the consumer; the other feeds the fighter jet. The resulting Military Complicity Score of 7.8 reflects this reality: meaningful, material, and sustained support for the systems of occupation and aerial warfare.
