So, what is responsible contracting? We’re leading the way by embedding our human and environmental impact expectations directly into our procurement contracts. Our Head of Sustainability, Zahra Afshar, and Shivdi Singh from the ETP, recently shared insights on this crucial initiative. We hope more tea companies will join us in creating stable, sustainable tea supply chains. Learn more and join the conversation below. #ahmadtea #tea #etp #infusedwithimpact #responsiblecontracting

Happy to have been involved in the early stages of the pilot and work with @rcp and ETP to advance the concept of shared responsibility in the tea supply chain. #ahmadtea #tea #infusedwithimpact
We are very pleased to present, in co-authorship with ETP, the publication of the Tea Sector Model Clauses (#TMCs). The TMCs will enable tea companies to embed shared responsibility for human rights and environmental due diligence (#HREDD) within their purchasing agreements, demonstrating sector-wide leadership for responsible business practices. RCP and ETP have worked together since January to ensure rigorous thought behind these principles and testing with the assistance of tea companies and ETP members Ahmad Tea, DAVIDsTEA, Ostfriesische Tee Gesellschaft GmbH, Ringtons, and Taylors of Harrogate. Ben Rutledge, RCP's Senior Business & Human Rights Advisor, and Shivdi Singh at ETP were instrumental in getting the project across the finish line. We invite you to read and download the TMCs and accompanying complementary Framing Memo on the RCP website: https://lnkd.in/gfwxpjw4 #supplychain #ethicalbiz #bizandhumanrights #contracts #ESG #teasector #teaindustry
