OECD-FAO Guidance for Responsible Agricultural Supply Chains

Overview

The Guidance aims to help business understand and implement due diligence for responsible business conduct in the agriculture sector. 

The Guidance has been developed to help enterprises observe existing standards for responsible business conduct along agricultural supply chains. These standards include the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises, the Principles for Responsible Investment in Agriculture and Food Systems, and the Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests in the Context of National Food Security. Observing these standards helps enterprises mitigate their adverse impacts and contribute to sustainable development. The Guidance targets all enterprises operating along agricultural supply chains. It deals with human rights, labour rights, health and safety, food security and nutrition, tenure rights over and access to natural resources, animal welfare, environmental protection and sustainable use of natural resources, governance, and technology and innovation.
