We’ve looked at the biggest food companies’ policies on issues from water to women, the way they expect their suppliers to behave on these issues, and what they do to measure and improve their impact on every worker and farmer who makes their ingredients. After 3 years of campaigning your pressure is making a difference. People have taken over 700,000 actions demanding more from the Big Ten companies and their scores are starting to improve – but all of them still need to do more to make the global food system work for all.
