Pins Brown

Senior Consultant

Pins arrived at Ergon in 2008. Previously she had worked for the Ethical Trading Initiative, The Body Shop International, Anti-Slavery International and as a diversity trainer. Her particular interests within labour rights work are:

  • • Practical application of international labour standards to all workers
  • improving the working conditions of small farmers/agricultural workers and homeworkers in international supply chains;
  • African agriculture; purchasing practices; child labour; women and gender in the workplace; all forms of discrimination; effective communication of rights; migrants and prisons.
  • Best practice related to multi-stakeholder initiatives and their good governance and effective operation.

 

At Ergon Pins conducts research and training work on a range of labour rights issues. Recently this has included assessing the impact of the Clean Clothes' Campaign (CCC) International Secretariat's work to change company behaviour on labour rights, and research on the working conditions of small cotton producers in Mali for the multi-stakeholder Better Cotton Initiative.

When not working or writing to her Member of Parliament, Pins can be found collecting stones-with-holes on Brighton beach.
