Until recently, information on the impact of social and
environmental codes has been anecdotal. However, a
critical mass of information is now emerging,
including lessons regarding the methods that can be
employed. This study, an independent 4-year DFID
funded project, focused on the impact of codes on
workers at the farm level in the South African wine
and Kenyan cut flower industries. Impact assessments
have varying approaches and sometimes multiple
objectives (e.g. informing policy, improving practice in
an individual company, capacity building, reflection,
etc.). Here, the aim was to inform the debate among
civil society, the private sector and government as to
the future role of social codes of practice in improving
worker livelihoods.
