For those who missed our webinar with ISEAL and Evidensia. You can catch up on everything. Take a look at the slides or watch the recording 👇
Yesterday, we were thrilled to be invited by Swiss Platform for Sustainable Cocoa and Swiss Sustainable Coffee Platform to deliver a session on: Harnessing Evidensia - Insights for Coffee and Cocoa Key Takeaways: 💡 In the coffee and cocoa sectors, key evidence needs include evaluating the economic and social impacts of sustainability initiatives, the effectiveness of certification systems, the impact of market dynamics and regulations, and the need for practical measures to enhance smallholder farmers' livelihoods and inclusivity. 💡 Companies benefit most from evidence such as certification data, impact studies on industry initiatives and regulatory changes (e.g., EUDR), risk assessments, traceability data, market insights, and social and environmental impact metrics, alongside efforts to harmonize data. 💡 Evidensia offers tools and resources to help users explore, navigate, and address these critical questions, providing evidence and insights to support informed decisions. This recording is available on zoom: https://lnkd.in/efbUC8a2 Passcode: gsY.!$J9 During the presentation, we explored findings from: Driving decent work: How effective are supply chain approaches in the agriculture sector? https://lnkd.in/eHygvAT8 Sign up to the Evidensia newsletter for upcoming events and new publications: https://lnkd.in/dS3Q75t7 Thank you to the SECO Economic Cooperation and Development for making the event possible.
