Consistent with ongoing efforts of the G7 to address environmental and social risks stemming from global agricultural supply chains, Germany, under its G7 Presidency, collaborated with the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) to compile a selective inventory and a comparative overview of voluntary and mandatory due diligence measures associated with G7 countries and the European Union (EU) for sustainable agricultural supply chains.
The purpose of the review is to create a basis for G7 countries and policy makers to identify common elements across G7 members’ policy measures with a view to strengthening the quality and, where possible, coherence of G7 policy responses to promote sustainability in agricultural supply chains and their implementation.
