📅 December 2nd is International Day for the Abolition of Slavery. Modern slavery is a cruel and unfortunately still widespread problem. Eighty percent of the world's population - approximately 6,25 billion people - live in regions where there is a high or extreme risk of modern slavery (Source: Modern Slavery Index 2022 by Verisk Maplecroft).
⛓️The lack of transparency in supply chains is one of the biggest problems of modern slavery, which is why choosing FAIRTRADE is so important.
👨🌾 FAIRTRADE ensures everyone involved in making your coffee, your cotton, your chocolate - from bean to bar, seed to cup - is paid fairly, respected and given the opportunity to support their families and support communities.
✊ We demand an EU law that gives worker representatives a real say in the due diligence process of companies! We advocate an EU supply chain law that effectively protects human and labor rights, the environment and the climate!
📣 We need your help to resist attempts to water down the proposed policy:
