Among the takeaways were insights gathered from discussions with rubber smallholders on their concerns about the fair price of rubber and their commitments to sustainability.

Our supply chain has its own specific challenges, and any sustainability regulation will have to take account of them. Read the statement here: https://t.co/SeDrWWom12

[GPSNR @RubberPlatform]

The last few months have some public debate on the latest @Europarl_EN deforestation regulation. As a platform that has the unique ability to bring the most of the industry as well as civil society together, we have released a statement about the matter.

[GPSNR @RubberPlatform]

The statement reflects that the industry supports due diligence requirements that take into account smallholder livelihoods, a risk-based approach with jurisdictional traceability and capacity building to promote sustainable practices.

[Collective Action at the Basel Institute @FightBribery]

How is #CollectiveAction helping to promote #integrity & #sustainability in natural rubber supply chains?
