India: Fatal workplace accident at Olam's sugar mill supplying PepsiCo, Olam & Pepsico responds
A worker at the Olam InterntionaL sugar mill in Kolhapur (Maharashtra) India was killed by falling sugar bags in a workplace accident on August 8 which also severely injured two other workers. According to the union representing plant workers, the factory has a long history of workplace accidents. Olam received funds from International Finance Corporation last year. Olam's mills supply to major food transnationals in India, including PepsiCo. PepsiCo has a supplier code of conduct which "expects" suppliers to "provide safe and healthy working conditions". Are the IFC and Bonsucro certifying a phantom management? Does this arrangement meet PepsiCo's "expectations"?
