I am writing in support of the ongoing boycott of Wendy’s, led by the Coalition of Immokalee Workers (CIW), due to the company’s unconscionable refusal to join the award-winning Fair Food Program (FFP). Two days ago, Wendy’s own shareholders voted nearly unanimously to support an unprecedented resolution calling for transparency into, and a concrete accounting of, the company’s social responsibility efforts. The victorious resolution, winning over 95% of the vote, sends a clear message: Wendy’s shareholders affirmatively hold the company responsible for effectively protecting workers in its supply chain from human rights violations, including harms from COVID-19. For over eight years, hundreds of thousands of conscious consumers have supported the Coalition of Immokalee Workers’ call for Wendy's to join McDonald’s, Burger King, Subway, Taco Bell and its parent company Yum Brands, and Chipotle in partnering with the Fair Food Program. More recently, responsible investors have added their voices to the farmworkers’ and consumers’ call for economic and racial justice, insisting that Wendy’s step up to the gold standard for social responsibility if the company truly desires to be a leader in the growing ESG investment market. In the words of Kerry Kennedy, Executive Director of Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights, in her comments to shareholders at this week’s annual meeting, “I know that Wendy’s wants to be a leader in the ESG space. But if ESG means anything, it means that when a proven solution like the Fair Food Program exists, adopting it should be a foregone conclusion. If you’re not FFP, you’re not ESG.” And now, Wendy’s own shareholders are pressing the fast-food chain for transparency into the company’s social responsibility claims in its supply chain. When Wendy’s produces the report on its supply chain practices sought by the resolution, those of us who support the CIW will be watching closely to see whether it includes all the concrete information sought by the resolution, so that we can truly compare Wendy’s efforts to the demonstrated success of the Fair Food Program. As leaders of Wendy’s corporate social responsibility efforts, it is time to listen to the voices of farmworkers, consumers, investors and shareholders demanding Wendy’s take social responsibility seriously and provide workers in its supply chain with the most rigorous protections for human rights in the U.S. produce industry today. It is time to join the Fair Food Program.
