""Decent work deficits in coffee supply chains persist, particularly among seasonal and migrant workers," said Dan Rees, director of the ILO Priority Action Programme on Decent Work in Supply Chains. "Through this project, we aim to advance labour rights and promote decent work and contribute to more sustainable supply chains.""
"In 2020, Nespresso released an action plan after a news investigation found excessive child labor on farms in Guatemala that supplied the brand. More recently, a December 2024 joint investigation by China Labor Watch and the nonprofit Coffee Watch alleged a pattern of labor violations at farms supplying both Nestlé and Starbucks in China's Yunnan Province, including excessive hours, low wages and unprotected pesticide exposure."
Nestlé and the International Labour Organization initiated a two-year project aimed at enhancing labor rights in coffee supply chains across Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico. The project, titled 'From fair recruitment to worker protection in coffee supply chains,' is part of Nestlé's Nescafé Plan for sustainability. The initiative addresses ongoing labor issues, particularly for seasonal and migrant workers, and aims to promote decent work and sustainable supply chains. Previous investigations have highlighted child labor and labor violations in coffee production, necessitating this intervention.
