 The aims of this project are:

  • To provide independent, systematic evidence of the social impact of the adoption of codes. To explore the convergence or divergence between workers priorities and code of practice. To assess the impact on workers, worker households and local communities.
  • To explore wider impacts of the adoptions of codes, including the impact on secondary stakeholders, the local economy etc.
  • To identify ways in which code impact can be improved and alternative strategies found for improving worker wellbeing livelihoods.

We are conducting in-depth research focusing on the Kenyan flower and South African wine industries over a three year period.
