Member Of

The Fair Food Standards Council (FFSC) is not currently a member of any national, European, or international associations, federations, confederations, or networks relevant to the activities covered by this registration. FFSC may, however, collaborate with civil society organisations, academic institutions, and advocacy platforms in the context of promoting human rights in supply chains.

Organisation Members

FFSC has no members. However, in line with the principle of transparency, we wish to disclose a close strategic affiliation with the Coalition of Immokalee Workers (CIW), an independent 501(c)(3) non-profit organization based in the United States. CIW is a worker-led human rights organisation that developed and launched the Fair Food Program (FFP)—a Worker-driven Social Responsibility (WSR) initiative designed to protect the rights of agricultural workers through enforceable standards and binding agreements. The Fair Food Program is not a separate legal entity. FFSC serves as the independent implementation and enforcement body of the FFP, with responsibility for monitoring compliance, conducting audits, operating a 24/7 complaint mechanism, and enforcing market-based accountability mechanisms. While CIW and FFSC are legally and operationally independent entities, they work in close coordination. This registration covers the interest representation activities undertaken by FFSC in support of the WSR model and the Fair Food Program within the EU policy context. CIW is not part of this single registration and is not under FFSC’s legal or financial structure. This affiliation is disclosed in full transparency to clarify the nature of our collaboration on shared objectives related to human rights due diligence and corporate accountability.
