Global Coffee Addresses Supply Chain Issues By
Reinforcing Responsible Sourcing Practices
Report addresses weak
links in current supply chain
and Global Coffee’s
plans to ensure responsible sourcing practices.
Dallas,
TX (Oct. 17, 2015) Today
Global Coffee announced plans to address current supply chain issues discovered
in recent days. Global Coffee places a strong emphasis on maintaining an
ethical supply chain starting with its employees and following through to all
its sourcing partners.
In the last few days, Global Coffee has
discovered that some of its beans have not been purchased through our
fair-trade farming partners, but through other coffee suppliers that do not
meet Global Coffee’s high ethical standards or global industry standards.
“After discovering that Global Coffee’s high ethical standards have been
compromised, the board of directors, the supply chain management team, and
myself have developed a plan that will ensure that Global Coffee’s ethical
supply chain will be restored and maintained through responsible sourcing
practices and transparency throughout the supply chain,” stated company CEO
Martha Washington.
Our plan will include the following
action items:
·
Development
of an ethical fair trade policy and procedure plan
·
Training
employees to reinforce company commitment to fair trade
·
A
review of current suppliers and their commitment to fair trade practices
·
Work
with current suppliers and gain agreement for becoming certified members of Fair
Trade USA
·
Discontinue
association with any supplier unwilling to comply with Global Coffee’s ethical
trade policy and procedures.
·
Work
directly with growers to ensure fair trade and commitment to the development of
the communities they live in
·
Consistently
report to stakeholders, customers, employees, and supply chain regarding
ongoing Fair Trade initiatives through various social media platforms to ensure
transparency.
Global Coffee will take these steps to
ensure that its employees and suppliers understand and align themselves with
Global Coffee’s ethical approach, which includes the issues of child labor,
animal testing, wages and benefits, hours of work, health and safety,
environmental responsibility, and other important issues.
