Help end the
suffering
behind
your food

Human suffering should never be an ingredient in the food we eat.

We dived into the biggest supermarkets’ policies to see whether they’re protecting the people who produce our food or leaving workers’ rights on the shelf.

What we discovered was outrageous: not one of the supermarkets is doing enough to ensure basic human rights for the thousands of people who put food into our shops and onto our tables. Some go to work and produce food all day but go home hungry.

Take action

I pledge to stand with the people #BehindThePrice and to call for:

  • An end to inhumane and dangerous working conditions
  • Fair pay
  • Safe and decent work for women

The supermarket scorecard

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

We analysed the supermarkets’ policies and practices on human rights in their supply chains and asked whether supermarkets are transparent and accountable in the ways they ensure that workers’ rights are respected, small-scale farmers are prosperous and resilient and the women who produce our food are treated fairly.

Three steps to a supermarket scorecard:

1. We examined supermarkets' policies and practices

2. Looked for behaviour that protects workers, farmers and women

3. Gave each supermarket a total score out of 100%
