Certification just isn't the solution- yet millions of $'s being spent to get it- to minimal impact. Where are impact stats? @EarthwormGlobal have more creative approach.

Yes ! Let’s all be aware of this as we are out and about this weekend . Individuals can have impact.

[Siamo Group @SiamoGroup_UK]

We can all do our bit to help stop exploitation of workers👍

Great work from @EarthwormGlobal India team

[Earthworm Foundation @EarthwormGlobal]

At a recent workshop, our India team advised #farmers to use advanced organic techniques in cotton farming to create #livingsoils. Read more in this story from @thetribunechd https://t.co/53tLKNlUdp

Wish I saw signs that this was affecting their buying decisions- but don’t see it sadly . Difference between saying and doing !

[Global Fashion Agenda @GFAgenda]

A new poll by @ChangingMarkets and @cleanclothes reveals that Americans want clothing brands to provide more information on their planet protection efforts and working conditions as well as more supply chain transparency. Read via @Refinery29. https://t.co/fYI88du3sr

Six UK fashion retailers fail to cotton on to sustainability https://t.co/woJCV3DOGS

And where you find corruption you will also find exploitation of natural resources and people- #supplychaintransparency

[Global Witness @Global_Witness]

The crisis of democracy and corruption go hand in hand, see @anticorruption’s Corruption Perceptions Index, out today.

Governments that want to fight #corruption need to strengthen democratic institutions and protect citizens’ rights. #CPI2018

Still fighting the fight ! @EarthwormGlobal

In this short video our CEO Bastien Sachet explains more about why we've become Earthworm Foundation: https://t.co/Yzm1QuXmfZ

[Hilary Thompson @HilaryThompson1]

@TheForestTrust been highlighting this problem for years- @FSC_IC need to sort this out as they have known too.@scottpoynton

[Aida Greenbury @AidaGreenbury]

In China, the @FSC_IC logo has become less a symbol of sustainability and more a tool for “greenwashing” — allowing illegally harvested timber to avoid scrutiny and enter global markets. Why @CarstensenFSC? https://t.co/r26mQg67kW #EUTR

[Hilary Thompson @HilaryThompson1]

https://t.co/QeGTywWuF2. Shock horror all round.. easy answer, transparency and taking responsibility- see suppliers blamed as ever but they know they have the space to do this and ' no questions asked'- about time there was good follow up on these stories.

[Hilary Thompson @HilaryThompson1]

2.1 million children are working under illegal conditions, because parents are not paid enough for their cocoa harvest Now available in the UK i hear good things about this company and its efforts. https://t.co/iholSOBnPI

Take a look at our latest newsletter for stories about how satellite technology is being used to protect #forests in Ivory Coast and how #soils are being brought back to life in France & India: https://t.co/D2c4qcqz7t

[Hilary Thompson @HilaryThompson1]

https://t.co/S8pA4wzOeM. This is not hard to fix so can be done @NHSuk . Supply chain responsibility!

[Hilary Thompson @HilaryThompson1]

Key question: they’re selling these toys for £5, which seems awfully cheap. Where were they made? Who made them? how are they able to achieve that, pay everyone fairly and make enough profit to have a meaningful impact on the charity???

[Orangutan Land Trust🦧 (also on Bluesky) @orangulandtrust]

"Cause marketing done wrong is possibly the worst culprit of this, as it tricks us into believing we’re working with the brand to tackle an issue we care about – when really we’re still being manipulated into buying more and more."

[Hilary Thompson @HilaryThompson1]

Agree with this : For the sake of both orangutans and the people who share their forests, we need fewer emotive simplifications and more acknowledgement of the complex political realities at stake.

[Anita Neville @Aussieneets]

Not late at all IMHO. This is one of the most sensible and powerful takes on the PR coup (it’s not sustainability leadership) that is the #IcelandUK ad #PalmOil
