The implementation of environmental and social standards is becoming an increasingly relevant aspect in business relationships across global supply chains. Many German and European companies face legal obligations to implement human rights and environmental due diligence processes and to collaborate with companies in their supply chains on relating topics. In many cases, buyers consider the implementation of the ESG requirements to be an important requirement for the (continuation of the) business relationship. This comprehensive training program, funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and organized by AHK Services Eastern Africa Ltd., supports exporters from emerging and developing countries to implement an effective ESG management system in preparation for growing buyer expectations and to position themselves as the supplier of choice.
