👉 En julio, los Foros de Comercio Ético realizaron una visita a las fincas de una de nuestras empresas asociadas, G's Group, en Cúllar (Granada). Allí están trabajando en conjunto con La Isla Network en un proyecto sobre estrés térmico que cuenta con el apoyo de Sainsbury's, y que forma parte de la comunidad de prácticas que llevamos a cabo en colaboración con Oxfam. 👉 Dentro del proyecto se están haciendo mediciones del esfuerzo físico realizado por los trabajadores, por lo que cada uno de ellos lleva una banda en el pecho durante la jornada laboral, que va registrando y midiendo sus latidos por minuto para luego juntar esta información con sus datos de peso, altura y género, calculando el esfuerzo en kilovatios gastados por hora 💪 👉 Agradecemos a G’s y a la Isla Network por hacer posible esta visita y por el esfuerzo realizado para implementar este proyecto de forma exitosa. Nos alegramos profundamente, por un lado, de ver cómo se está avanzando en materia de salud y seguridad de los trabajadores, y, por otro, de comprobar cómo nuestros asociados ponen estos temas en el centro de su estrategia 👏 --- --- --- --- 👉 On July, the Ethical Trade Forums visited the farms of one of our associated companies, G's Group, in Cúllar (Granada). Here they are working together with La Isla Network on a project on heat stress that has the support of Sainsbury's, and which is part of the community of practice that we carry out in collaboration with Oxfam. 👉 Within the project, measurements are being made of the physical effort made by the workers, so each of them wears a band on their chest during the work day, which records and measures their beats per minute and then combines this information with their data of weight, height and gender, calculating the effort in kilowatts expended per hour 💪 👉 We thank G's and the Isla Network for making this visit possible and for the effort made to successfully implement this project. We are deeply happy, on the one hand, to see how progress is being made in terms of worker health and safety, and, on the other, to see how our associates put these issues at the center of their strategy 👏 #comercioético #fce #afce #buenasprácticas #estréstérmico #sostenibilidad #heatstress #sustainability

The heat is at an all-time high. Climate change is causing illness and death around the world. Certainly, people who work in the heat are at enormous health risk. And that's tens of millions of jobs. A new report from the International Labour Organization confirms the growing threat of heat stress to workers' health worldwide and its economic impact. Praise to the people in the La Isla Network, whose work for better and more efficient working conditions is discussed at length in the report as a good example. Workers' lives, as well as production and the economy, are at risk from rising temperatures. Fortunately, by adopting innovative protocols, companies can ensure the future of their businesses and protect the health of their employees. The report underlines the urgency of taking action now! Workers' lives, as well as production and the economy, are at risk from rising temperatures. Fortunately, by adopting innovative protocols, companies can ensure the future of their businesses and protect the health of their employees. This is not just an issue in Asia or Africa, but also in the United States and Europe. I urge companies to take responsibility and work with organizations like La Isla Network to protect the health of their workers.” DUTCH: Hitte slaat keihard toe. Klimaatverandering veroorzaakt ziekte en doden over heel de wereld. Zeker mensen die werken in hitte, lopen een enorm gezondheidsrisico. En dat zijn vele miljoenen banen. Een nieuw rapport van de International Labour Organization bevestigt de groeiende bedreiging van hittestress voor de gezondheid van werknemers wereldwijd en de economische gevolgen ervan. Complimenten voor de collega's van La Isla Network wiens werk voor betere en efficiëntere arbeidsomstandigheden in het rapport uitgebreid wordt besproken als goed voorbeeld. Het rapport onderstreept de urgentie om nu actie te ondernemen! Het leven van werknemers, maar ook de productie en de economie lopen gevaar door de stijgende temperaturen. Gelukkig kunnen bedrijven de toekomst van hun bedrijf veiligstellen en de gezondheid van hun werknemers beschermen door innovatieve protocollen in te voeren. Dit is niet alleen een probleem in Azië of Afrika, maar ook in de Verenigde Staten en Europa. Ik dring er bij bedrijven op aan om hun verantwoordelijkheid te nemen en samen te werken met organisaties als La Isla Network om de gezondheid van hun werknemers te beschermen. #heatstress #ILO #labor #climatechange

2moIt's great to see companies like Sainbury’s's and G's Group participating in research to ensure the right of workers to a safe and healthy working environment. This makes them true frontrunners in Europe. During this study we had access to all workers present and were able to get a full picture of the efficiency of the occupational safety and health measures in place. We were also able to follow workers, measure their health and circumstances in the field. This project is an inspiring example of how companies invest time and energy in improving working conditions, wanting to learn and develop. This is how we can protect workers' health and the productivity of companies, in times of a changing climate. Together with partners as Foros de Comercio Ético Sergio Barbera. we can and should move this forward.
