Sustainability along the Value Chain

The members of econsense are not only concerned with sustainability within their companies. To be able to label a product as "sustainably produced", they must also adhere to the pertinent requirements as they are defined, for example, by the UN Global Compact, in the ILO conventions or the relevant environmental and social standards. Therefore, the members of econsense work to practically implement sustainability standards along the value chain.
