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.
