Guest Blog: Oxfam's Rachel Wilshaw and Barbara Sennholz-Weinhardt on the commitment by German supermarkets to promote living wages for workers in their own-brand supply chains
"The initiative has the potential to make a dent in systemic exploitation in the companies‘ supply chains, at least for their own-brand products. But to be effective and credible, a range of success factors need to be met. These include concrete, timebound commitments by all companies on key aspects such as supply chain transparency, price negotiations with producers and dialogue with rightsholders and the organisations that represent them."
