ARCHIVE: Champions' Group: Ethical trading

An Industry led Champions’ Group was formed to identify how the food industry can double the number of food products covered by ethical trading schemes. The group membership was made up of representatives from industry, government and the third sector.

The starting point for the work of this group was the key action point on ethical trading which can be found on page 77 of the Strategy Document (see also below). The final report of the Group can be found below.
