Responsible supply chains in action

We do not accept or support the use of illegal, abusive or enforced labor. We believe it is essential that all those in the supply chains work together to ensure children and adults are not subject to these conditions. We work hard to provide all employees with an equitable, safe and supportive work environment providing competitive wages and the rights to join a union and voluntarily negotiate.

Responsible supply chain examples

 

• Brazil. Cargill

  12-year old Abigail Osei is going to school thanks to CARE's Cargill-supported Rural Education Project

   is a signatory to the Brazilian National Pact for the Eradication of Slave Labor. Developed by the Brazilian government, the International Labor Organization and The Ethos Institute for Social Responsibility, it monitors suppliers. We will not do business with those who appear on this list.
• West Africa. We have joined other members of the global cocoa and chocolate industry to work with West African governments and NGOs to take action to ensure cocoa is grown without the worst forms of child labor. We are also investing in our own projects to improve educational opportunities for children and prevent children from being subjected to forced or dangerous work on farms.
• Indonesia. We adhere to national laws that require those working on palm plantations be at least 15-years-old in Indonesia, provided this does not disrupt school attendance and they are protected from exploitation and hazards.
