GFA newsletter 4/2019: THE ROLE OF PRIVATE SECTOR DEVELOPMENT FOR LABOR AND SUSTAINABILITY STANDARDS

Posted on 2 Dec, 2019 by Lukas Rieck

Sustainability is a key issue in development and core standards related to human rights, labor, work safety and health are accepted as benchmarks to achieve sustainability in production and consumption. Since 2000, GFA has been active in implementing sustainability standards in forest management and the wood and paper industry through GFA Certification. In this newsletter, we highlight GFA’s work in training and capacity development for sustainability in the textile and ready-made garment industry in Bangladesh, in hydropower and electricity companies in Indonesia, with small-scale gold miners in the Andean countries, and with cotton farmers in Africa.
