Climate Goals & Targets

Environmental Challenges

  • Limited access to several sites due to audit fatigue.
  • Lack of due diligence on subcontractors at farms.
  • Lack of formal grievance mechanisms and remedy at farms.
  • 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.
  • Environmental impacts on communities (e.g., bad smells from shrimp water).
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.
