The provision of temporary worker accommodation within fresh produce supply chains is common place. We are taking steps to ensure that temporary accommodation provided to workers in our supply chains meet the requirements needed for a decent standard of living. Through collaboration with other retailers and our suppliers, we have developed best practice guidance on the issue of temporary worker accommodation. These have been shared with all our UK based suppliers along with a training package to guide suppliers through the standards. Further information can be found here.
The Juice CSR Platform is a vision-driven platform offering a space for collaboration and continuous improvement where all sector and supply chain stakeholders are included. The Platform enables stakeholders to work together to find solutions to common Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)-related opportunities, challenges and concerns as reflected in the CSR Principles. The Juice CSR platform’s overall objective is to support, guide and inspire juice stakeholders to integrate CSR throughout the supply chain. As part of our membership of the platform we are supporting a living wage study in the Brazilian orange supply chain to understand the existing gaps between actual wages and living wages. The findings of this study will be used to inform a sector-wide approach to closing the wage gap.
