Nestl\u00e9 and the International Labour Organization (ILO) are expanding their long-standing partnership with a new two-year initiative aimed at improving labour rights and fair recruitment practices across coffee supply chains in Brazil, Colombia and Mexico.<\/p>\n

The project, titled \u201cFrom fair recruitment to worker protection in coffee supply chains,\u201d is designed to support more sustainable and resilient sourcing networks by addressing labour-related risks in three of the world\u2019s key coffee-producing markets.<\/p>\n

According to the ILO, the initiative will promote labour rights by identifying and addressing the drivers of decent work deficits across coffee supply chains, particularly among seasonal and migrant workers.<\/p>\n

Building on its standard-setting role, the ILO will facilitate dialogue between governments, employers and workers\u2019 organisations to assess labour challenges and help shape targeted country-level interventions.<\/p>\n

These interventions will focus on promoting fair recruitment practices and worker protection, while also generating insights to support broader knowledge-sharing across the global coffee sector.<\/p>\n

Dan Rees, Director of the ILO<\/a> Priority Action Programme on Decent Work in Supply Chains, said the project aims to improve sustainability by tackling long-standing labour issues within coffee production.<\/p>\n

\u201cCoffee production sustains the livelihoods of approximately 20\u201325 million families worldwide, generating vital income and employment. However, decent work deficits in coffee supply chains persist, particularly among seasonal and migrant workers. Through this project, we aim to advance labour rights and promote decent work and contribute to more sustainable supply chains.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nestl\u00e9 says the partnership supports its broader sustainability goals for coffee sourcing and is intended to help build more resilient and inclusive coffee value chains.<\/p>\n

Antje Shaw,<\/a> Head of Sustainability for Coffee at Nestl\u00e9, said:<\/p>\n

\u201cOur 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

The programme is supported by the Nescaf\u00e9 Plan, Nestl\u00e9\u2019s global sustainability programme for the brand.<\/p>\n

It will also contribute to the ILO\u2019s Fair Recruitment Initiative, which promotes fair recruitment principles globally, and the ILO\u2019s Safety + Health for All flagship programme, including its Vision Zero Fund, which supports safe and healthy working environments in supply chains.<\/p>\n

As sustainability expectations continue to rise across global food and beverage sourcing, the initiative highlights growing industry focus on labour rights as a key component of responsible and resilient supply chain management.<\/p>\n
