Will Apple and Foxconn set off a race to the top? | Guardian Sustainable Business | Guardian Professional. Chinese workers assemble electronic components at Foxconn's factory in Shenzhen. Photograph: AFP/Getty Images The Fair Labor Association (FLA) recently completed an intensive investigation of Foxconn, which manufactures over 40% of the world's electronics and is the largest private employer in China. The investigation was undertaken at the request of Apple, one of the many brands sourcing from Foxconn. Rather than conducting a typical "compliance audit", FLA assessors spent nearly a month at three facilities evaluating the functioning of all aspects of the employment relationship, and surveying over 35,000 workers.
Our assessors found a number of serious issues, particularly concerning hours of work, and Apple and Foxconn have laid out a detailed corrective action plan and timeline that, if fully implemented, will have far reaching impact on not only the 1.2 million workers Foxconn employs but on Chinese manufacturing as a whole. This is unacceptable. Consumers must take a stand. Cafédirect - helping farmers get direct access to the markets | Guardian Sustainable Business. Cafedirect - long-listed for Guardian Sustainable Business supply chain award.
A range of initiatives led by the Fairtrade Foundation, the Rainforest Alliance, Utz Certified and the Soil Association have made huge strides in helping consumers support sustainable farming in developing economies. But Cafédirect set out to see if it could take its own support for the Fairtrade campaign further and achieve a better balance between the economic, social and environmental pillars of sustainability. Its work with São Tomé cocoa farmers is the latest example of this work in progress. Over the last two years it has worked with smallholders to create a sustainable supply chain, increasing their income for the crop by 500% and introducing a new range of high quality, ethically-sourced cocoa to the UK market. The first shipment of cocoa was exported in February 2010 and Cafédirect's São Tomé instant cocoa made its first appearance in UK stores the following October. La soif du monde - Bande annonce.
