Our Forum is a multi-stakeholder partnership (MAP) consisting of around fifty companies, associations, non-governmental organisations, the Federal Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Home Affairs (BMLEH) and the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). The secretariat is based at the Global Nature Fund (GNF) in Bonn.<\/p>\n

The aim of FONAP e.V. is to promote more environmentally and socially responsible agricultural supply chains with a focus on palm oil. Since its founding in 2015, FONAP has worked for better palm oil cultivation in the countries of origin. This involved increasing the uptake of certified palm oil in food, animal feed and chemical products and considering and applying human rights along the entire supply chain. Companies participated in the multi-stakeholder partnership in order to address challenges such as meeting their human rights due diligence obligations and certification issues<\/a>, jointly \u2013 and not only internally. Our engagement today is devoted primarily to the new regulatory requirements and legislation (such as the EUDR\/EU Deforestation Regulation and the LkSG\/German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act) as well as testing solution approaches \u2013 for example through pilot projects \u2013 in the countries of origin. Various formats of participation are open to FONAP members, e.g. exchange in the context of specialist events, involvement in working groups, or voluntary support for a FONAP smallholder project.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n <\/div>\n\n\n
