We’ve been hearing a lot about the implementation of sustainable practices in business?

Lately, we’ve been hearing a lot about the implementation of sustainable practices in business, as a company’s development strategy should include an understanding of how it impacts people and the environment.

To discuss how to balance economic interests with social and environmental policies, we invite you to participate in practical webinars featuring experts from the International Trade Centre (Geneva). They will help clarify what sustainable development in trade means, how to implement it at the enterprise level, and why it’s important.

WHEN? April 22 and 23, 2024, starting at 11:00 AM.

HOW TO PARTICIPATE? Registration is open until 8:00 PM on Friday, April 19, at the following link.

TOPICS WE’LL DISCUSS:

• The link between sustainable development and international trade
• Preconditions for forming sustainable practices in global value chains
• Green trade and its key components
• Social audits and certification
• The European Green Deal provisions
• Due Diligence legislation
• The complex dynamics of global value chains
• Key social and environmental issues in agricultural supply chains
• Business sustainability standards in agriculture
• The functionality of the ITC Standards Map online tool for finding information about voluntary sustainability standards (VSS), codes of conduct, audit protocols, reporting examples, and company policies on sustainability.

The participation of Ukrainian enterprises in these webinars has been made possible thanks to financial support from the government of Sweden.
