The need for sustainable use and management of resources is most urgent in developing countries, where people directly depend upon local natural resources for their livelihoods. With increasing public pressure to meet this need, social, environmental and economic values promise to drive the future production, trade and consumption of commodities.

Are you aware of the social and environmental impact of your sourcing activities in producing countries? Do you realize that heavy investments may be required in the future to secure supplies in sufficient quantity and quality to meet your clients’ demand? Could your corporate reputation and core business be at risk?

Creating sustainable value chains has been our core business for the past two decades and we offer in-depth expertise on all major commodities. We support our clients in integrating sustainability into their policies, plans and projects, and in implementing measures to enhance local sustainability. Using our proven structured approach to design effective business solutions, we have advised such corporations as Unilever, Sara Lee, FMO, Rabobank, Fortis, Dutch Sustainable Trade Initiative, UTZ CERTIFIED, Eneco, Levis, WWF, Oxfam Novib, Wilmar, and New Britain Palm Oil Limited.
