RTI President Jun Roy will lead the discussion among the export business leaders in Region 3 about Sustainable Export and how sustainability can improve overall their business competitiveness. About 27% of Philippine GDP comes from exports. As more and more countries are strengthening their regulations on importing sustainable products, the adoption of sustainability by our exporters presents a major opportunity. Phil Export has already articulated the importance of sustainability in its mission, yet there is still a wide gap in the implementation of sustainability among the exporters.

Speaking to an audience of #financial industry professionals and beyond, our General Manager for Sustainability, Vivi Anita Husin, shared how Musim Mas steps up to support smaller suppliers in the palm oil industry. At Musim Mas, our commitment to #sustainability runs deep, impacting every part of our supply chain. Among the hurdles is the evolving expectations of the global market, which include new regulations and scope 3 emissions. That's why we need to continuously improve our supplier engagement strategy. What’s our approach? Multi-stakeholder collaboration is key! Governments drive changes at a landscape level, while the private sector, like brands, producers, and multilateral organizations, join forces at the operational level. It’s an ongoing journey, and we’re dedicated to working together to meet these evolving expectations. OCBC, Singapore Business Federation, APEC Business Advisory Council

Coffee's story has always been one of extraction - nations watching their resources, labour, and potential prosperity flow overseas. Now, as climate change reshapes traditional growing regions and global demand surges, we stand at a moment of transformation. Leaders sense what we sense: that this moment offers a rare chance to reimagine an entire industry, to pioneer a new model of agricultural development that serves nations, not intermediaries.  The United Nations International Trade Centre shares our vision of transformation. In partnership, we're building agricultural centres of excellence where Brazilian innovation meets African potential. This isn't about growing coffee - it's about growing prosperity, preserving heritage, and pioneering sustainable agriculture. Right now, we are in dialogue with visionary governments across Africa. These conversations crackle with possibility. The model we are offering builds complete ecosystems where nations capture their full agricultural value. Open Air Laboratories serve as catalysts, transforming communities while driving economic growth. Here, tradition meets innovation, creating systems that serve people, not intermediaries. It's about economic sovereignty, about writing the next chapter in a nation's story. When agriculture innovates, economies transform. When nations control their value chains, they control their destiny. On February 10th, at the World of Coffee event in Dubai, we will announce our first African partner nation for this transformative initiative. One nation will step forward to revolutionise its agricultural sector and write its name in coffee's next chapter. The question isn't whether the future of coffee will be rewritten. The question is: Who will write it? #FutureOfCoffee #AgriculturalTransformation #BrazilAfrica #SouthSouthCooperation #CoffeeIndustry #EconomicDevelopment #ITC #UNDC #CoffeeExports #GlobalTrade #ValueChain #WorldOfCoffee2025 #Dubai #AgriculturalInnovation #OpenAirLab #KnowledgeTransfer #Sustainability

Amazing to see the framework I developed come to fruition at the Dubai Chamber of Commerce. If you are an SME or large corporation in the UAE I urge you to apply for this. Not only is it imperative that you reflect on your ESG efforts and journey so far, but have tangible Governance mechanisms in place to ensure accountability for ESG. The Middle East is not far behind from the EU with implementing further sustainability regulations, but more importantly we all have a responsibility to support the governments net zero targets so that we can contribute to a more sustainable and cleaner environment. #ESG #governance #netzero #sustainability
