Assessment of the Hazelnut Supply Chain and Hazelnut Harvest in Turkey

Fair Labor Association

EXCERPT FROM INTRODUCTION:

“In the summer of 2011, the Fair Labor Association began working with Nestlé to evaluate labor and human rights issues in the hazelnut supply chain in Turkey. Although Nestlé was not a FLA Participating Company at the time, FLA agreed to the special project because the organization’s methodology and agriculture work had uniquely positioned the FLA to be able to offer tools and strategies that could make a real difference in the lives of workers on hazelnut farms in Turkey.”
