You have an idea for an investment abroad
for example, setting up a dairy factory in eastern Africa.
If so, you can inform the Netherlands Enterprise Agency
about your ideas.
You may be eligible for public financial support.
Terms and conditions apply
such as Corporate Social Responsibility
according to the international OECD guidelines.
Supply chain responsibility is an essential part of this procedure.
This responsibility means that you have insight into the various stages within your supply chain,
and that you are aware of the risks and opportunities
within your production process
What does this fact mean in practice
for your dairy factory in eastern Africa?
Will the forest be cut due to the construction of your factory?
If so, take into account the biodiversity in the area
so the cows can graze in the long term.
Decent wages and working conditions
are also your responsibility.
Also think about creating opportunities for women in your business.
Another example is what happens to the manure
It can be used as fuel or
for the construction of houses.
Transforming risks into opportunities
will have a positive impact on you as an entrepeneur, as well as on the local farmer.
The local standard of living will increase with you as a consistent buyer
