Shrimp Supply Chain, Executive Summary
Shrimp Supply Chain, full report

This report examines working conditions, including non-compliance with the ETI Base Code, across global shrimp supply chains. Violations of workers’ fundamental rights are not confined to one tier of the supply chain (e.g. fishing) or to one sourcing location (e.g. Thailand). As such, this report examines how the purchasing practices of buyers in the USA, the UK, the 27 member states of the European Union and Australia influence labour standards along the shrimp supply chain
