MSMEs are often at the forefront of implementing innovative, sustainable practices that reduce environmental impacts, enhance community development, and promote social equity.   At Sustainera Solutions, we are committed to supporting MSMEs in their journey towards sustainability.

🇱🇰 Today, our Head of Partnerships, Amy Melissa Chua presents the Private Sector Statement at the FAO Regional Conference for Asia and the Pacific in Colombo, Sri Lanka. As a neutral convener of more than 690 diverse partners spanning public, private, and civil society sectors, Grow Asia was tasked with gathering perspectives from the private sector, who play a crucial role in helping to achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals (#SDGs) by 2030. We collaborated with our Business Council to gather insights from 16 industry associations (representing large and small companies) and 31 major agribusinesses. Our private sector partners emphasized two priorities for the FAO in Asia: 1️⃣ scaling up innovation in both #Technology and #Finance for a low-carbon economy; and 2️⃣ establishing efficient #Public-#Private pathways for widespread adoption.
