Engaging with communities through our supply chains EAUC Scotland event on community engagement 16 th April 2015 Liz Cooper, SRS Research and Policy Manager

Everything we buy as institutions has an impact on communities around the world

Livelihoods, Pay, Farmers, Extractives/mining, Manufacturing

Global trade = lots of negative impacts on communities - poverty/low pay - poor conditions - forced labour - displacement from land - pollution - fluctuating demand for products… Source: WaronWant.org

Most common way unis/colleges engage = fair trade

Farmer cooperatives Premiums for community projects

Fair trade producer visits – increase understanding

e.g. rice/pulses from Malawi (JTS) bought by public sector

2 MSc dissertation placements in Malawi 2015 to find out more…

Electronics manufacturing – communities displaced from farming to factories – Electronics Watch Source: electronicsproducts.com

Mining communities – e.g. conflict minerals in DRC (policy work)

Garment industry (sweatshops) - university branded clothing - workwear - sports kits = dissertation project on this 2015 Source: theguardian.com

Local supply chains too: – milk, eggs, meat, agriculture – food policy work, to explore further

Incorporation of disadvantaged communities in Scotland in supply chains – apprenticeships, supported businesses, prisons/ex offenders?

Currently engaging through: -networks e.g. EW/WRC - research & dissertation projects…

Lack of transparency on supply chains a problem – various attempts to address

Room for more engagement with these often distant communities - research - study visits - projects - twinning? - exchanges?

Opportunities to link with universities on ground in developing countries to link closer to communities we affect?...

Room for links between socially responsible procurement and other community initiatives in unis/colleges Again, we affect a lot of people’s lives through our purchasing choices! Thanks.
