Very happy to share my view on impact of EU due diligence regulations at the 'From Free Trade to Fair Trade' session organized by @unido at the @wto public forum. Many reasons for optimism if parallel measures are taken to reinforce regulatory environment and support ecosystems
Talking about the emerging #duediligence requirements, panelists share their insight on the move from voluntary to mandatory #standards
-Will the burden of compliance be put on suppliers?
-Are SMEs aware of the new requirements?
-Will this lead to increased market access?
It was a pleasure working with IDH on the Cocoa Origins Program, a program that perfectly fits in with the #equipoise vision on sustainability: projects should be related to viable supply chains feeding into profitable markets

One of the fine examples of the Cocoa Origins projects that Equipoise is working on together with IDH.
IDH is proud to support the creation of a women-owned “Cocoa Fruit Lab” micro-factory in Côte d’Ivoire. Find out more about this gender transformative project, led by the Beyond Beans Foundation in the context of IDH's Cocoa Origins Program: ow.ly/zMdd50FGaGo
