Online kick-off meeting: Nordic Initiative on Living Wages in Banana Supply Chains

Wages and labor rights are a significant risk and challenge in many global value chains. Wages are increasingly high on the agenda due to the new sustainability requirements under CSRD legislation - especially ESRS S2 (Workers in value chains) and due diligence requirements (CSDDD) legislation. We now bring actors across the Nordic banana value chains together for a joint initiative to close the living wage gap in the banana sector.

At this kick-off meeting we will:

• • Hear from other players in the banana sector about their work on living wages
  • Review the first mapping of the Nordic banana value chains (incl. suppliers and producer countries) and the status of the living wage
  • Clarify expectations for participation in the initiative
  • Create an overview of next steps in 2024 and planned joint activities in 2025-2027

The target group for the meeting and the initiative are all actors in and around the Nordic banana value chain. This includes retailers, traders, public buyers, NGOs, certification bodies and authorities.
