Join us for this webinar where we launch our new Evidensia systematic review report: ‘Effectiveness of supply chain sustainability approaches on decent work outcomes. A systematic review of evidence in agriculture and apparel sectors’.

Decent work is one of the most challenging areas to advance on in the sustainability landscape. Whilst the global dynamics of trade, business, growth and transnational supply chains have generated employment, “decent work” eludes a large majority of workers worldwide.

Over the last 20 years, several market-based approaches – such as voluntary standards, company codes of conduct, collaborative agreements and accords – have emerged to advance on decent work within specific sectors and supply chains.

The aim of our research was to study the effectiveness of such interventions in the agriculture and apparel sectors for workers in low- and middle-income countries.

In this webinar, lead researchers Dafni Skalidou and Carlos Oya will share findings from this systematic review. We will host a panel discussion to bring in a range of perspectives emerging from our findings.

Key questions we will explore include:

• What are the key insights for how supply chain interventions can be more impactful?
• Where should companies and voluntary tools focus their efforts and resources on decent work?
• Where are the critical research gaps in this field?
