Nestlé and the International Labour Organization (ILO) are expanding their long-standing partnership by launching a new, two-year project 'From fair recruitment to worker protection in coffee supply chains' focused on promoting labour rights in the coffee supply chains of three key sourcing countries: Brazil, Colombia and Mexico.
Building on its standard-setting role and convening power, the ILO will facilitate social dialogue among governments, employers’ and workers’ organizations to identify and address key drivers of decent work deficits and labour-related risks in coffee supply chains. Based on these insights, the project will implement targeted country-level interventions to promote fair recruitment practices and labour rights. Interventions at the country level will also support global knowledge-sharing across the coffee sector.
Antje Shaw, Head of Sustainability for Coffee at Nestlé, said: "Our partnership with the ILO represents a significant step to advancing and promoting human rights in coffee supply chains. By working together, we can progress faster in creating more resilient and inclusive coffee value chains, where workers are treated with dignity." |
