Are you attending the UEBT Conference in October? Did you know that Germany is one of the largest importers and exporters of wild plants?  TRAFFIC has been working with BfN to develop an overview of the situation of the wild plant trade and sustainability initiatives in Germany and facitate a stakeholder roundtable in June 2024. TRAFFIC's Stephanie von Meibom will be there presenting our work to date with German sectors which rely on wild plant ingredients - food, cosmetic, pharmaceutical and more.

🌿Proud to have Community Insights Group represented at the UEBT Conference 2024 https://lnkd.in/g9f8TTNp Our own Jacqueline T. participated as a panelist in the session “Human rights in botanical supply chains: Issues and practical approaches.” The session, moderated by Maria Julia Oliva, included insightful contributions from fellow panelists: Deniz Austin, Hayat Osseiran, Helen Mant and Philippa Smith. We discussed key topics such as the importance of meaningful engagement in human rights due diligence, acknowledging that due diligence looks different depending on where you are in the supply chain, and how support from organizations at the top of the value chain is critical to addressing human rights risks. It was inspiring to hear how stakeholders across the botanical supply chain are working on these important issues and to be part of a dialogue focused on driving sustainable, ethical practices and respecting human rights. As passionate leaders in human rights due diligence within sustainable supply chains, our human rights team at CIG brings extensive expertise in navigating complex challenges across various sectors. If you'd like to learn more about our work and how we can support your organization in implementing responsible, human rights-centered practices, please reach out to our Human Rights team - Luciana Souto, Jacqueline T., Francesco Tricoli.  #UEBT #UEBTConference #Sustainability #HumanRightsDueDiligence #EthicalSourcing #Biodiversity #SupplyChain
