Reflecting on a day of critical multistakeholder dialogue: WHO PAYS? As sustainability-driven regulations reshape global supply chains, at a time when both people and the environment are at stake, the question remains the same: WHO PAYS? 💬 Key discussions featured insights from public, private, and non-profit sectors, from producer to consumer countries, and from all tiers of the supply chain, to tackle this pressing challenge. UNIDO's Director General Gerd Müller, Ambassador Debora Lepre of Italy, Ambassador Maurice Makoloo of Kenya, Deputy Head of Mission Anna Salovaara of Finland, former Vice-President of the European Parliament Heidi Hautala, Managing Director Sylvia Wisniswki of Finance in Motion and CEO and Chairperson of Global Environment Facility Carlos Manuel Rodriguez set the scene and were some of the many high-level speakers today. ❓ Who pays? Who should pay? Who will pay? These three fundamental questions kept our conversation very alive today, and we found that sustainability is not just a cost but a shared investment in our future! #UNIDO plays a key role in setting sustainability standards, supporting fair globalization, and developing effective support mechanisms, particularly for SMEs.      The road ahead? Stronger collaboration, shared responsibility, and collective action! Let’s work together for a fair implementation of sustainability-driven regulations along the global supply chain. 🌍💪 Read more in our latest news article 👉 https://lnkd.in/drEgthez Embassy of the Republic of Kenya in Austria | Fairtrade International | Fairtrade Africa | KEDGE Business School | Global Policy Incubator (GPI) | International Institute for Sustainable Development | Quality Council of India(QCI) | PEFC International | International Coffee Organization | ICFA - International Climate Finance Accelerator | European Commission #UNIDO #Sustainability #GlobalTrade #SMEs #SustainableDevelopment #WhoPays
