IDH is working to secure living wages through the Roadmap on Living Wages. This platform works to strengthen international alignment and to build tangible solutions regarding living wage. Earning a living wage means workers receive sufficient wages to afford a decent standard of living for the worker and their family.
About the Roadmap
To support companies’ effort, IDH developed the Living Wage Roadmap. The Roadmap is the work of partnership: many partners are thinking along on developing solutions to barriers and testing them.
This has led to five clear steps with practical tools through which companies can progress. From measuring to action. For example, you can calculate living wage gaps with the IDH Salary Matrix, and with the IDH Living Wage Action Guide, you can find solutions on how to take steps with your supply chain partners to close living wage gaps.
Already a great group of companies and organizations are part of the Roadmap. Will you join too and use the Roadmap?
Living Wage & Living Income Summit
The Living Wage & Living Income Summit is on June 26, 2024, will you be there?
To make real strides we need the vast majority of stakeholders to take up their shared responsibility. We need to debate how best to benefit from recent milestones achieved by organisations like the ILO and the EU. We need to foster dialogue and share practical insights on what works when it comes to closing of living wage and income gaps. We need to share different perspectives from the supply chain on these topics.
Take part and join us at the Living Wage & Living Income Summit. You’ll be welcomed alongside 400 guests from a range of private sector and public sector stakeholders, including producers, buyers, unions and more. We can create deeper and more cohesive change together.
The Living Wage Summit is organised together with GIZ and with support from the UN Global Compact

Understanding the Living Wage
Hear from our partners
“IDH played a key role in converging , aligning efforts to move the living wage agenda in the banana supply chain. To ensure its success, it will require the whole value chain to work collaboratively and to find sustainable solutions together. In addition to listen to all relevant stakeholders, the methodologies and tools developed by IDH enable everyone to work within a similar framework and evaluate living wage gaps in a similar fashion.”
