Our ambition is to improve the livelihoods of people throughout our global value chain

Income inequality can stifle economic growth and affect people’s health, wellbeing and access to opportunities. It can also impact the resilience of corporate value chains.

We’re helping people in our value chain to enhance their livelihoods – strengthening their economic resilience, as well as the resilience of our business.

The systemic barriers to decent livelihoods need collective action. We are partnering with others to drive systems change.

For smallholders, we will certify our key crops through certification partners and invest in programmes to drive income growth and regenerative agriculture. We’ll help build our suppliers’ capability to identify and begin closing their wage gaps. And we’ll provide small retailers with access to tools and training to help them grow.

Through local and global coalitions, we’re pressing for commitments on higher farmer incomes and regenerative agriculture. We’re also pushing for private sector action and government policy shifts, levelling the playing field for living wages.
