The Palm Rights Observatory has developed Fair Work Monitoring in Honduras, revealing the working conditions of the workers who make this industry possible today. A total of 124 workers from seven companies (six certified by the RSPO) participated in this monitoring, and the results are now presented in this human and labor rights observatory.<\/p>\n

Oxfam and CNV Internationaal aim, through their work with the RSPO, to ensure the informed participation of communities and workers at all levels, establishing stronger ties with the RSPO, and facilitating the active involvement of communities in the sustainability of the palm oil industry.<\/p>\n

The information we gathered here will serve as a foundation to strengthen the palm sector in Honduras, promote due diligence in the sector\u2019s companies, comply with RSPO principles and criteria, and, above all, enable informed collective negotiations in which workers\u2019 organizations are aware of and enforce their labor rights.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

For this monitoring process, we based our efforts on eight indicators from RSPO\u2019s principles and criteria related to the concept of Fair Work. Throughout this document, the perceptions of labor rights violations reported by participating workers are highlighted in contrast to these principles.<\/p>\n

RSPO Indicators Used as Guidelines for the Observatory:<\/h4>\n
    \n
  1. Prohibition of all forms of discrimination against workers.<\/li>\n
  2. Workers' pay, working, and living conditions must meet legal or sectoral minimum standards.<\/li>\n
  3. The Certification Unit must respect the formation and affiliation of unions or worker organizations for collective bargaining.<\/li>\n
  4. The Certification Unit will not use child labor and will prohibit the worst forms of child labor.<\/li>\n
  5. Forms of intimidation, harassment, abuse, or violence in the workplace must be prevented, mitigated, and addressed.<\/li>\n
  6. The rights of women workers must be respected and promoted, and violations of these rights must be remedied.<\/li>\n
  7. There must be zero tolerance for forced labor and human trafficking.<\/li>\n
  8. The Certification Unit must implement health and safety practices to protect workers from occupational diseases and injuries.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Honduras is currently one of the leading palm oil producers in Central America. Over the past decade, palm oil production has become a key economic activity in several regions of the country, especially in Bajo Agu\u00e1n, Valle del Sula, and the Atlantic region.<\/p>\n

    In the second half of 2023, we conducted Digital Monitoring to listen to the workers\u2014the ones who make the palm oil chain possible. This tool feeds, year after year, the Palm Rights Observatory with updated information.<\/p>\n

    The Digital Monitoring tool has proven effective in tracking working conditions from the workers' perspective, helping identify crucial areas for strengthening labor rights protection.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    En esta iniciativa, el Observatorio de Palma aborda principios fundamentales que deber\u00edan estar incluidos en las leyes y los certificados laborales de la industria; principios que se han trazado dentro de los lineamientos de la Organizaci\u00f3n Internacional del Trabajo (OIT) y que incluyen aspectos como:<\/p>\n
