ETI Insights: How purchasing practices shape human rights in shrimp supply chains

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 presented 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.
