Chains - Our focus is on improving labour rights in these value chains

Just transition in mining

Outsourcing can involve risks which lead to violations of labour rights, often difficult to identify through standard due diligence measures.

Textile

We are committed to fair work for the people who make our clothes. Think living wages, healthy and safe working conditions and being free to join the union of your choice.

Palm oil

Millions of people work in palm oil plantations. They are the indispensable workforce of the sector, but their fundamental labour rights are often not respected.

Sugar

Social dialogue and living wages are driving innovation in the cane sugar sector, which previously focused on economic and environmental sustainability.

Special topics on which we are active

Living wage

Millions of workers worldwide simply don’t earn enough money to support themselves and their families. It’s not uncommon for countries to have no agreements establishing a minimum wage.

A living wage and a safe working environment are important topics for unions when negotiating with employers. In order to be able to represent workers properly, unions can use CNV Internationaals' 100% Fair Work Monitor.
