In an increasingly connected global economy, it is easier to connect a finished product to the production of its raw materials. With up to two-thirds of the extreme global poor working in agriculture, the stark difference in revenue generated along agricultural commodity supply chains is harder to ignore.
Agriculture is a key sector for driving real change to reduce global inequality, and upcoming regulatory developments may require companies to report on social impacts such as living income.
Living income and better livelihoods are also relevant to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, so addressing living income within a company’s supply chain will contribute towards meeting these goals within a company’s commitment.

Whatever action you have taken and progress made, it is important to talk about it. Tell people what you have done and why. Be open. Be transparent.
There are different types of people whom you might want to communicate with customers and clients, employees, other businesses, governments and the general public. Be prepared to use a variety of formats such as social media, apps, podcasts, reports that relate to both the topic you are talking about and to whom you are talking.
