Episode notes
New Legal Duty For Supply Chains
- The Transparency Act forces large Norwegian companies to analyze and address human-rights risks in supply chains.
- It removes excuses like "we just buy from a supplier" and creates legal responsibility for upstream abuses.
Buy Certified Or Verify Origin
- For small buyers, prefer third-party certified coffees when you cannot audit origin directly.
- For larger buyers, conduct origin checks and demand supplier transparency before purchasing.
Social And Environmental Issues Are Linked
- Social and environmental sustainability are deeply intertwined in production industries like textiles and coffee.
- Improving worker conditions often enables longer-term environmental investments on farms.
