Coordination of civil society in the context of MSI Sustainable Orange Juice in Brazil

Overview

The aim is to advance living and working conditions in the orange juice supply chain.

The Partnership for Sustainable Orange Juice (PANAO) is a union of German and Brazilian stakeholders from the private sector, civil society and trade unions to advance living and working conditions in the orange juice supply chain. PANAO pools knowledge and resources and promotes dialogue between stakeholders to:

  1. Create sustainable sourcing practices by analyzing the orange juice supply chain.
  2. Create decent working conditions by analyzing working conditions and wages in order to then adjust them to a living wage.
  3. Create a strong employee representation by establishing a dialogue structure between employees and employers, which should enable negotiation processes between the two parties in the long term.
  4. Create fair political conditions by having a dialogue with its partners in Germany, Europe and Brazil to be able to influence political developments.
