The supermarket scorecard

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

We analysed the supermarkets’ policies and practices on human rights in their supply chains and asked whether supermarkets are transparent and accountable in the ways they ensure that workers’ rights are respected, small-scale farmers are prosperous and resilient and the women who produce our food are treated fairly.

Three steps to a supermarket scorecard:

1. We examined supermarkets' policies and practices

2. Looked for behaviour that protects workers, farmers and women

3. Gave each supermarket a total score out of 100%
