Responsible business
====================

Global value chains impact the livelihoods of individuals, especially those in vulnerable or marginalized communities. Informal waste workers, particularly in developing countries, which are essential to collect and sort beverage cartons for recycling, are at risk, and FBCA members support fair and safe working conditions while promoting social responsibility. The operational tasks carried out in the facilities, along with the equipment used by employees, entail inherent safety risks. Our members are dedicated to fostering a safety-centric culture aimed at mitigating these risks.
