Tool 4: A code of conduct is an important formal statement of a company’s values, commitments and expectations of its direct business partners, including what is required of these business partners or suppliers in managing human rights risks in their supply chains. We are offering the sample provisions below to coffee roasters, traders, and producers to support them in developing or strengthening their own policies or formal Codes of Conduct.

Tool 7: Effective communication and training on Code of Conduct standards represent a key building block for successful adoption of social responsibility practices by all supply chain actors, from the coffee bean producer to the coffee retailer. The need for straightforward information on what is required of supply chain partners and their workers is often underestimated. This is even more the case with building the knowhow and technical skills to implement both Code of Conduct and legal requirements, including mitigating risks to workers and remediating issues that arise.

Tool 8: This tool has been designed to introduce effective monitoring concepts and red flags for labor risks among coffee sector workers as well as guidance on conducting worker interviews and triangulating information to detect labor risks. While the information included in this tool will be helpful for most actors along the coffee supply chain that interact directly with producers, the main target users for this tool are those actors who regularly conduct farm-level monitoring. This tool is thus most helpful for field technicians, monitors, and certification bodies.

Tool 9b: Self-Assessment Questionnaires (SAQs) are a set of self-administered questions that allow the user of the SAQ to identify potential risks or gaps in their standards, systems, and practices. The purpose of an SAQ is to give the user a space to reflect and introspectively assess themselves and their performance across a range of topics. This SAQ is geared towards helping coffee producers identify potential labor risks1 in their operations and to provide them with concrete steps that they can take to address identified risks. The SAQ is an internal tool, which does not require the sharing of your answers with anyone, so it is best for users of the SAQ to answer the questions as fully, honestly, and accurately as possible so that the recommendations generated most closely meet the user’s needs.
