In this guest blog, first published by Oxfam, the charity's Ethical Trade Manager Rachel Wilshaw welcomes LIDL's new human rights policy and commitments on worker exploitation, fairer and more equal treatment of women workers, and greater transparency.
"The steps just announced go far but will not be enough on their own to change the lives of workers and small-scale farmers in lower-income countries. We would like to see Lidl evolve their business model to deliver more benefits to workers and farmers, engage with governments on action to protect human rights, and achieve greater gender equality over time."
