We have been following the work of THIRST for quite some time now – it is a fountain of knowledge regarding the tea sector across the world. The multi-stakeholder approach encompasses different perspectives with one common goal: to make tea industry fair and sustainable. When we wanted to analyse the risk of human rights violations in our supply chain, THIRST was the first to come to our mind. The detailed report enables us to take the next steps on our journey.
