Learnings from cross-sectoral sustainability assessments: from multinational corporations to regional initiatives in West and Central Africa

This session will feature the launch of the World Benchmarking Alliance’s 2023 Food and Agriculture and Nature Benchmarks, assessing the world’s 350 most influential food and agriculture companies as well as introducing Proforest’s Africa Sustainable Commodity Initiative (ASCI) as a functional multistakeholder platform for responsible commodity agriculture in Central and West Africa, including the Congo Basin.

With the aim of closing the corporate accountability gap, the session will dive deep into how the private sector can play a role in farmers’ livelihoods and the health of people and the planet. The link will be made on how using the tools and instruments available for assessing private-sector performance can drive action and accountability.
