WHAT LIES BEHIND MULTI-NATIONAL FOOD AND BEVERAGE COMPANY BRANDS?
Behind the Brands is part of Oxfam’s GROW
campaign to help create a world where everyone has enough to eat. Right
now, nearly one in eight people on earth go to bed hungry. Sadly, the
majority of these people are farmers or farm workers supplying the very
food system that is failing them. Yet there is enough food for
everyone. That’s an outrage – but we can be the generation that ends
this crazy situation. While the food system is complex and its problems multi-faceted, the world’s largest food and beverage companies have enormous influence. Their policies drive how food is produced, the way resources are used and the extent to which the benefits trickle down to the marginalised millions at the bottom of their supply chains.
The 'Behind the Brands' campaign aims to provide people who buy and enjoy these products with the information they need to hold the Big 10 to account for what happens in their supply chains.
In putting together a scorecard based entirely on publicly available information on company policies, Oxfam posed the question “what are they doing to clean up their supply chains”?
Visit Behind the Brands to help change the way the food companies that make your favourite brands do business.
