Worker-Led Human Rights Due Diligence
About the Project
The Rainforest Alliance, in partnership with Quizrr, an award-winning EdTech company, has developed training modules for workers and managers on Rainforest Alliance Certified farms in these regions. The training covers existing human rights risks, in line with the OECD-FAO Guidance for Responsible Agricultural Supply Chains, and will result in a significant improvement in the understanding and awareness of human rights risks for the workers and managers involved. This will in turn result in more cases being reported and positively remediated, using the Rainforest Alliance’s assess-and-address system, and decreasing human rights violations in the long term.
