In many African countries, small-scale producers and informal sector workers feed into export supply chains. Applying codes of conduct to these small, family-run businesses is a complex process.
We frequently work with small-scale producers and the informal sector across Africa. We are a member of the Ethical Trade Initiative (ETI) working group, which developed the ETI smallholder guidelines, used to assist in extending ethical sourcing to smallholder farmers.
