Retailers and food service companies play a pivotal role in shaping labour conditions across global shrimp supply chains — but are their purchasing practices contributing to the problem?

This webinar presents new research assessing purchasing practices against the ETI Base Code, showing how pricing below production cost, delayed payments, short lead times, and last‑minute order changes can contribute to human rights risks in the shrimp supply chain.

This event is part of our ETI Insights series.
