OECD-FAO Guidance for Responsible Agricultural Supply Chains: Helping achieve the Sustainable Development GoalsThis brochure illustrates links between the OECD-FAO Guidance for Responsible Agricultural Supply Chains(OECD-FAO Guidance) and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It aims to help businesses contributeto achieving the SDGs by implementing the recommendations of the OECD-FAO Guidance.The OECD-FAO Guidance for Responsible Agricultural Supply ChainsThe Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the Food and AgricultureOrganization of the United Nations (FAO) developed the OECD-FAO Guidance to help businesses observestandards for responsible business conduct (RBC) along the agricultural value chain and implement duediligence to identify, prevent and address risks in their supply chains. It was developed through a two-yearmulti-stakeholder process and has received widespread government endorsement, including by the G7Agriculture Ministers.The recommendations of the OECD-FAO Guidance are relevant to all businesses in the agricultural valuechain, including domestic and foreign, private and public, small, medium and large-scale enterprises.The Sustainable Development GoalsThe 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development are theuniversal blueprint to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity.The Goals are interconnected – often the key to success on one will involve tackling issues more commonlyassociated with another1. The SDGs call for robust involvement of businesses in global development efforts.Among all the SDGs,the OECD-FAO Guidanceis particularly linked to:SDG 1SDG 2SDG 3SDG 5SDG 8SDG 12SDG 14SDG 15SDG 17No PovertyZero HungerGood Health and Well-beingGender EqualityDecent Work and Economic GrowthResponsible Consumption and ProductionLife below WaterLife on LandPartnerships for the GoalsDue diligence and why it matters to achieving the SDGsDue diligence is a process through which businesses can identify, prevent and account for how they addressthe actual and potential adverse impacts of their activities as an integral part of business decision-makingand risk management. The OECD-FAO Guidance recommends that businesses implement due diligence toknow and show that they are addressing the most significant environmental and social risks associated withtheir agricultural supply chains and that they are considering the whole range of their impact on the SDGs.1.United Nations Development Programme, “Sustainable Development Goals”, lopment-goals.html. Please refer to the OECD-FAO Guidance (www.doi.org/10.1787/9789264251052-en) for the entire set of recommendations.1

OECD-FAO Guidance for Responsible Agricultural Supply Chains: Helping achieve the Sustainable Development GoalsBy implementing due diligence:—Businesses can proactively identify and address the impacts to workers, the community andthe environment and ensure that actions and inactions are not undermining the SDGs.—Businesses can systematically manage risks and demonstrate their contribution to the SDGin a measurable way.Due diligence, when implemented effectively, can benefit businesses by lowering operational, reputationaland financial risks. It promotes a proactive approach to risk management rather than simply reacting toproblems when discovered. Due diligence can also help businesses improve productivity and createopportunities to become an investment, brand and employer of choice. Through due diligence, businessescan make a greater contribution to the SDGs, going beyond their own operations to business relations acrossthe whole value chain.The risk-based due diligence framework recommended by the OECD-FAO Guidance helps businesses (i)establish strong company management systems; (ii) identify, assess and prioritise risks in the supply chain;(iii) design and implement a strategy to respond to identified risks; (iv) verify supply chain due diligence; and (v)report on supply chain due diligence. While all businesses should conduct due diligence, the implementationcan be tailored to meet their circumstances.Report on supply chain due diligenceEstablish strong company management systemsReporting publicly includes reporting on risks found. Thisbuilds trust and credibility in business commitments to RBCand to achieving the SDGs.Businesses can refer to the SDGs in company policies andhighlight how due diligence helps identify and address risksso that the SDGs are not undermined. Strong managementsystems help mainstream responsibilities for due diligenceand SDG actions across divisions, with accountability at theboard level.51Identify, assess and prioritise riskin the supply chainVerify supply chain due diligenceVerification enables businesses toevaluate the effectiveness and impactof their due diligence, and in turnmeasuring achievements in relationto the SDGs.A 5-STEPFRAMEWORK423By analysing their operations andbusiness relationships, businessescan map the most severe risks andhow these impact the SDGs. Byidentifying what and where the risksare, businesses can know whichSDGs they have the most impact on.The risk assessment process helpsprioritize action – where risks are themost severe.Design and implement a strategy to respond to identified risksIncorporate:—Meaningful stakeholderengagement.—A gender perspectiveinto due diligence.Designing and implementing a strategy enables businesses to movefrom words to actions. Proactive measures to prevent adverse impacts,including working on root causes, maximises businesses’ contributionto the SDGs. Due diligence facilitates progress towards achieving theSDGs in a systematic way.2

OECD-FAO Guidance for Responsible Agricultural Supply Chains: Helping achieve the Sustainable Development GoalsThe links between the SDGs and the OECD-FAO GuidanceThe OECD-FAO Guidance includes a model enterprise policy for responsible agricultural supply chains, a fivestep framework for risk-based due diligence along agricultural supply chains, and two annexes – measuresfor risk mitigation and prevention along agricultural supply chains and engagement with indigenous people.While the Constitution of the FAO includes fisheries and forestry in the definition of agriculture, the OECDFAO Guidance focuses mostly on crops and livestock. Find out how the different sections of the OECD-FAOGuidance2 link to 17 SDGs and 169 associated targets3.The OECD-FAO GuidanceThe SDGs and associated targetsSection 2: Model enterprise policy for responsible agricultural supply chains[Model enterprise policy statement: p.25]Recognising the risks of significant adverse impacts arisingalong agricultural supply chains, and recognising ourresponsibility to respect human rights and our capacity tocontribute to sustainable development, and in particularpoverty reduction, food security and nutrition, andgender equality, we commit to adopt, implement, widelydisseminate and incorporate in contracts and agreementswith business partners the model enterprise policy forresponsible agricultural supply chains.2.1 Cross-cutting RBC standards[Recommended policy: p.26 Benefit sharing]Target 1.4——Ensure that our operations contribute to sustainableand inclusive rural development, including, asappropriate, through promoting fair and equitablesharing of monetary and non-monetary benefits withaffected communities on mutually agreed terms.[Recommended policy: p.26 Gender]————Help eliminate discrimination against women.Enhance women’s meaningful participation indecisionmaking and leadership roles.Ensure women’s professional development andadvancement.Facilitate women’s equal access and control overnatural resources, inputs, productive tools, advisoryand financial services, training, markets andinformation.Ensure that all men and womenhave equal rights to economicresources and access tobasic and financial services,ownership and control overland and property, naturalresources, technology.Target 2.5—Maintain the genetic diversityof seeds, cultivated plantsand farmed and domesticatedanimals and their related wildspecies and promote access toand fair and equitable sharingof benefits arising from theutilization of genetic resourcesand associated traditionalknowledge.2.Please refer to the OECD-FAO Guidance (https://doi.org/10.1787/9789264251052-en) for the entire set of recommendations.3.For the full scope of 17 SDGs with 169 associated targets, please visit the SDGs Knowledge Platform cs/sustainabledevelopmentgoals4
