Proud to be part of the Corporate Justice Coalition and great to see momentum building for mandatory HREDD with Baroness Young’s Private Member’s Bill today, and the publication of the draft BHREA law 💪https://t.co/dMtOVnhgAi

Fairtrade is calling for mandatory due diligence, because reporting harm isn’t the same as stopping it.

Right now, companies can comply while exploitation continues. We need rules that make businesses prevent harm, not just disclose it.

As you can see looking for products certified #Fairtrade is more important than ever to convince our government to introduce stricter rules on those that sell products that rely on producers in the developing world

Chocolate shouldn’t come at the cost of farmers’ rights 🍫

We're calling on the UK government to introduce a mandatory responsible business law to protect farmers from low incomes, human rights abuses and environmental harm.

@orgreavejustice @UcuUsic @BBCSheffield @SheffieldStar @ucu Glad to see a strong picket. How dare they call in ACAS before any real offer has been made?

[Fairtrade Foundation @FairtradeUK]

People can’t check the ethics of everything they buy and they shouldn’t have to.

As @MartinRhodes21 writes in @Independent, it’s time for the law to step in and make businesses responsible for human rights & environmental harms in their supply chains.

We all need to insists that all purchases are #FairtoPeople

[Fairtrade Foundation @FairtradeUK]

#Fairtopeople - because no one should work in fear.

Safe conditions. Equal opportunities. School, not work. These are basic rights, not luxuries.

It’s time to make protecting people and planet the law, not a choice.

Narges Mohammadi has been jailed and beaten for defending women’s rights in Iran. Her life is at risk. Let’s urge the world leaders to press Iran for her immediate release during a key UN meeting in Geneva. https://t.co/09y9sGeFR1

Transform Trade hosted a Westminster event on unfair purchasing practices in UK fashion, launching Who Pays?
Researchers from University of Leicester & University of Nottingham, plus industry voices, made the case for a UK Fashion Watchdog.

It is still vital to promote #fairtrade until people abolish such selfish practices without considering the effects of others in a supply chain

[Transform Trade @transformtrade_]

We are quoted in this @TheGrocer article.

Unfair trading practices persist in the supply chains of everyday products such as onions coming into the UK.

Overseas growers should not be impoverished when selling to the UK.

We need fair business practices.
