Volcafe joins ILO Child Labour Platform, broadening coalition to end child labour

Volcafe has joined the International Labour Organization’s Child Labour Platform (CLP), as part of our continuing efforts to end child labour in coffee supply chains. The CLP is a leading initiative that brings together businesses to work toward the eradication of child labour in supply chains.

As part of our CLP membership, Volcafe joins forces with several industry peers, including coffee traders and roasting companies such as Tchibo and Nestlé, in the ILO-led inter-agency project ‘Ending Child Labour in Supply Chains. Addressing the root causes of child labour in supply chains through an area-based approach’. The project, funded by the European Commission, primarily aims at addressing the root causes of child labour in three leading coffee origins: Honduras, Uganda, and Vietnam. Volcafe has a strong presence in each of these countries and will bring local knowledge to the project.
