Today’s food for thought is “Cooperatives' Contribution to SDGs: Achievements and Way Forward”, published by the International Co-operative Alliance in 2023. The report emphasizes the vital role of cooperatives in promoting sustainable development as part of the Social and Solidarity Economy (SSE). The UN's 2023 resolution recognizes cooperatives for their contributions to the SDGs, including poverty reduction, gender equality, and environmental sustainability. Cooperatives are highlighted in Voluntary National Reviews (VNRs) as key contributors to SDGs, particularly in agriculture and rural areas. The report stresses the need for increased visibility of cooperatives in national development plans and VNRs. The report underscores the importance of SSE in achieving inclusive and sustainable development, with cooperatives playing a critical role in the 2030 Agenda.

🛒 With the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive in mind, which Belgian supermarket is doing the most for the farmers and workers in its supply chains? How do they protect their human rights and labour rights, and ensure a fair income and gender equality? 🔎 Superlist Social is a study that compares the policies of 5 retailers present in Belgium and calls on them to take action. It is an initiative of Questionmark Foundation in collaboration with Rikolto, with the support of Oxfam-Solidariteit and Fairtrade Belgium. 📊 The conclusion? One retailer is leading the way, but none of them is doing enough to protect human rights in their supply chains. Yet, they can (and soon must) do much more to make our food systems fairer.
