- Description :
- Tenders are invited for Tools to support waste picker rights in FMCG company supply chains (EPR and procurement). Submission of bids by 17.00 GMT on 4th October 2021. Tearfund-s waste picker rights advocacy programme is focussed on developing and agreeing a set of principles to guide fair partnerships between FMCG companies and the informal waste sector, as well as guidance on how these can be implemented and monitored in FMCG company operations and supply chains. These draft principles were first circulated in January 2020 and have since undergone revision, informed by comments from both FMCG companies and waste picker representatives, and learning from various research projects. While the exact wording of the principles is yet to be agreed, we are clear on some of the key areas that need to be addressed, such as income security, safe and fair working conditions, movement up the value chain and child labour. And a key priority is to ensure that waste pickers are treated as equal and active participants in EPR schemes, in decision-making related to collection and recycling programmes, and in multi-stakeholder platforms. Tools to support waste picker rights in FMCG company supply chains In order to ensure human rights due diligence throughout all relevant supply chains and EPR schemes, we believe that tools and guidance are needed to guide FMCG companies through the following process: 1. MAPPING of plastic waste supply chains, value chains and stakeholders in a specific context. 2. PARTICIPATORY ASSESSMENT AND ANALYSIS of human rights risks, root causes and priority concerns of waste pickers in particular contexts. 3. PARTICIPATORY ACTION PLANNING to integrate waste pickers in ways that address human rights risks and waste picker priorities. 4. IMPLEMENTATION of action plans. 5. MONITORING, VERIFICATION and REPORTING Stage 1 - mapping of plastic waste supply chains, value chains and stakeholders in a specific context. Supply chain mapping is an exercise by which a company1 : ● collects information on its suppliers and sub-suppliers; ● discovers the relationships and interdependencies among the supply chain tiers; ● understands the people involved in the process and their behaviour patterns; ● increases the traceability and transparency of the entire supply chain
