Fair & Sustainable works on developing value chains that are socially, environmentally and economically sound. We believe in believe that a fair benefit sharing between actors results in stronger and more sustainable value chains of which all actors involved gain
F&S uses a systemic approach to value chains, by including all actors inside and around a value chain, such as (financial or technical) business providers and the institutional environment. We believe that a healthy and strong value chain is a diverse value chain, including different sized companies and different groups of people.
F&S actively works together with our clients, including governments, companies and NGOs, to identify the most promising value chains and intervention opportunities. We analyse the selected value chains and give advice on how to develop the value chains. We offer coaching, training, capacity building for different actors, and facilitate and develop multi-stakeholder partnerships.
