Recording from a live event. 

As store aisles fill up with labels stamped with vaguely familiar certification logos, many of us have found ourselves asking: what does it all mean? Can I trust these certification bodies to tell me this product hasn’t been made with forced labor or deforestation or other social and environmental harms? And are companies sustainable if they source certified products? In this podcast, we ask these questions and more to experts on human rights and environmental protection in the cotton, seafood and cocoa sectors: Umida Nyizova, David Hammond, and Evelyn Bahn.
