Companies take action towards living wages
IDH, the Sustainable Trade Initiative has announced with global companies Aldi Nord, Aldi Sud, Eosta, Fyffes, Fairphone, L’Oréal, Schijvens, Superunie, Taylors of Harrogate, and Unilever to take action towards living wages. In a joint Call to Action: Better Business through Better Wages, they call on other companies to do the same.
A living wage is enough to provide for their family’s basic needs for food, water, clothing, housing, education, transportation and healthcare.
“To eradicate poverty, a living wage is the first step. Helping workers achieve a living wage is a shared responsibility across the entire supply chain, but the business community must be a driving force. We are proud that ten companies already will work together towards living wages and encourage other businesses to join the call to action and do the same,” says Daan Wensing, CEO, IDH, The Sustainable Trade Initiative.
