He adds ..."That’s why I joined the Sustainability advisory board of Nespresso seven years ago along with the Rainforest Alliance, Fair Trade International, and the Fair Labour Association among many others with the goal then, as it remains to this day to improve the lives of farmers." Clooney says they've made great progress, but adds ..."With that in mind it is also imperative to have talented investigative reporters showing the board where they have yet to succeed ...
