Wine Trade Urged to Raise Labour Standards Across Supply Chains

The Drinks Business reports that labour standards in viticulture and wine supply chains are becoming a more urgent industry issue, with sustainability consultant Anne Jones arguing that producers and retailers need both incentives and enforcement to improve practices. The Wine Society has developed a five-step human rights due diligence guide, translated into French, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese, and aims to have 160 own-label and key suppliers complete the first four stages by the end of the year.
