In this FIBS Practice event you’ll hear
- What is the human rights-based approach to living income in supply chains
- How front-running companies are piloting projects for living wages and living income
- What can SME’s do to advance living wages
Working poverty is a reality worldwide. It is not only about lack of income, but also about decent work, opportunities and the power to negotiate. In this workshop, we concentrate on the human rights -based approach to decent living in supply chains.
A growing number of companies are committing to work towards achieving living wages and income in their supply chains. In this interactive workshop we learn and discuss solutions and partnerships that front-running companies are utilizing to ensure wages that enable workers and families in their supply chains to meet their basic needs.
