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.

Aldi to Spend Additional 3.5 Billion Pounds on Food, Drink From British Suppliers
Britain’s fifth-biggest supermarket Aldi said Wednesday it plans to increase the amount of food and drink it buys from British suppliers by 3.5 billion pounds ($4.77 billion) within the next five years as the company continues its rapid expansion across the United Kingdom.
In September, Aldi, which is privately owned by Germany’s Aldi Sud, said it will open around 100 supermarkets and invest 1.3 billion pounds in Britain over the next two years. The company said it expected to create a further 4,000 new jobs next year, adding to the 3,000 roles already created in 2020.
