ICO AND ILO JOIN FORCES TO CELEBRATE THE 2023 INTERNATIONAL COFFEE DAY
On this year’s International Coffee Day (ICD) - 1 October 2023 – the ICO and ILO are jointly launching the #CoffeePeople Campaign and a social media challenge around the theme 'promoting the right to a safe and healthy working environment in the coffee supply chain'.
"All workers deserve to enjoy decent and safe working conditions. This implies, as a minimum, rules for working hours, adequate payment of wages and effective monitoring of health and safety at work (...). I am proud that today, together with the ILO, the ICO is committed to leading and modelling a better coffee workplace to meet all challenges. Promoting respect for international labour rights and helping key stakeholders commit to upholding these rights is essential to achieve inclusive growth, strengthen the stability and sustainability of the coffee sector, and improve the quality of life for workers."
