Impact
As part of our giving–back strategy, we want to deliver our impact. This is how we contribute to the UN SDGs and work on capacity building.
Contributing to the SDGs
With our Certification Schemes for food safety and social sustainability in the consumer goods industry and related supply chain, FSSC is determined to support the UN Global Compact’s universal principles for human rights, labor, the environment, and anti-corruption.
The UN Global Compact is the world’s most significant corporate sustainability initiative, which was mandated by the United Nations to stimulate businesses to support the realization of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
FSSC strives to help the Global Compact advance these principles through the United Nation’s SDG Framework. We are a member of the United Nations Global Compact Network in the Netherlands.
Capacity Building
Most companies in the global supply chain (particularly SMEs) across all economic sectors need systematic capacity building to improve their performance. However, only about 1-2 % of them have the privilege of setting up and implementing the necessary management systems and getting certified. This is why FSSC started developing a Capacity Building Framework for food safety and social sustainability in the global supply chain.
The aim is to improve performance for regulatory and voluntary compliance requirements with training, coaching, and mentoring programs aligned and co-created by FSSC partners from industry and non-industry stakeholders. The framework will support all levels of global supply chain members, with a focus on SMEs. In addition, this will also contribute to the UN SDGs.
