Launch of the OECD-FAO Guidance for Responsible Agricultural Supply Chains
On behalf of Lilianne Ploumen, Minister for Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the Director-General for Foreign Economic Relations, Mr. Marten van den Berg will receive the first copy of the OECD-FAO Guidance for Responsible Agricultural Supply Chains on March 11th, 2016.
The guidance was developed with the support of a multi-stakeholder advisory group (among which, the Dutch Agricultural University of Wageningen) and was the subject of an online public consultation. Representatives of Carrefour, Unilever and civil society will further discuss the need for guidance with government representatives of the Netherlands and France.
The joined OECD-FAO publication provides companies in the agricultural food chain with a practical guide to observe standards of responsible business conduct and to encourage due diligence in the agricultural supply chains.
