Nestlé has entered a new two-year partnership with the International Labour Organization to improve labour standards in coffee-producing regions. The initiative will be carried out in countries such as Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico, where the focus will be on promoting fair hiring practices and strengthening protections for workers. This move builds on their ongoing collaboration to tackle labour-related challenges within agricultural supply chains.

The programme will bring together governments, employers, and worker representatives to address issues like unsafe working conditions and limited rights for seasonal and migrant workers. It also aims to create practical solutions that can be applied globally, helping make coffee production more responsible and sustainable. The effort aligns with Nestlé’s broader commitments under its coffee sustainability initiatives.
