Climate Goals & Targets
Environmental Challenges

- Lack of occupational health and safety training at some farms.
- Income below living wages at some farms.
- Lack of documentation of grievance mechanisms and remedy at processing sites.
- Ineffective grievance mechanisms and lack of remedy at feed mills.
- Short-term fixed price contracts limiting supplier flexibility and leverage for change.
- Workers unaware of anti-bribery policies.

Mitigation Strategies
- Buyers continue their strong efforts of engaging with other stakeholders to ensure that changes to the supply chain are made in collaboration with other buyers, human rights institutions and advocates.
- Consider a flexible pricing contract modality which allows for adjustment of price to account for increasing costs in Vietnam.
