Behind the Brands 8 Years Later: An assessment of food and beverage companies’ delivery of land rights commitments
Organiser(s): Oxfam.
Session format: Roundtable.
From 2013 to 2016, Oxfam's Behind the Brands campaign called on the world’s 10 biggest food and beverage companies to adopt stronger social and environmental sourcing policies and spurred significant commitments on land rights. Now, as the coronavirus pandemic worsens inequality and food insecurity around the world, Oxfam has assessed whether the companies have taken meaningful steps to implement the commitments they made in response to the campaign.
This session brings together a partner, Oxfam, and a Behind the Brands company to discuss progress to date, how to accelerate progress moving forward, and why private sector engagement on land rights matters for addressing the intertwining crises.
