amfori places collaboration at the heart of its actions to deliver positive solutions for supply chain and facilitate sustainable business practices.
Every year, goods and services are traded across the world (31 trillion dollars in 2022, WTO-UNCAD estimate). Trade creates new economic opportunities and has a significant impact on worker conditions and the environment.
In this context, it can be difficult for companies to find and maintain the right balance between generating profit and avoiding harmful behaviour towards people and the planet. However, by making the appropriate efforts, companies can help safeguard that the benefits of trade are not outweighed by negative effects. That is sustainable trade.
At amfori we believe that people, planet and profit can work together. We believe in a world where all trade delivers social, environmental and economic benefits for everyone. It is what we call ‘trade with purpose’.
Through a variety of services and practical tools and solutions, amfori supports companies to map, identify and mitigate ESG risks in their supply chains. Events, trainings and webinars facilitate sharing of knowledge and experiences amongst members. Finally, amfori’s advocacy team monitors current legislative procedures and ensures longstanding relationships with policymakers, decision-makers and key stakeholders.
