Livelihood

Operating according to fair standards provides security for all.

We make five livelihood commitments

The final component of a truly sustainable outlook is the need for individuals and organisations to make ends meet – to earn what’s needed to pay the bills and plan for the future. And that requires everyone to play fair and adhere to a certain standard of operation.
