George Clooney says he is 'saddened' by child-labor claims against coffee giant Nespresso, a brand he promotes, and vows that 'work will be done.'
Nespresso CEO Guillaume Le Cunff said in a statement that the company has"zero tolerance of child labor" and the claims would be investigated.
"Any issues we uncover will be dealt with diligently and firm action will be taken," Le Cunff said, adding,"We will continue to do all we can to stamp child labor out. It has no place in our supply chain." "Starbucks has zero tolerance for child labor anywhere in our supply chain," the spokesperson said, adding that in the most recent harvest season the company giant has not purchased coffee from the farms in question and will refrain from doing so until it can verify that the growers are not violating company's ethical sourcing program.
Clooney, who is married to human rights lawyer Amal Clooney, said Nespresso's Sustainability Advisory Board, which he serves on, has done a lot to improve coffee farming.
