About this Positive Pursuit

Every company must ensure its own employees are subject to fair employment terms and paid a living wage, to live up to the Break-Even Goals. Here we consider actions that go beyond this.

This Positive Pursuit applies if – as a result of the company’s action:

  • More people have access to livelihood opportunities which live up to the definition of Decent Work;
  • Access to markets and value chains is available to people who were previously unable to participate; or
  • The right to benefit economically from local resources, including land, is upheld for more communities.
