The objectives of the Fourth Clean Production Act of the Industry of Processed Foods, an agreement between private and public bodies, signed by a range of government ministries, including the ministries of Foreign Affairs, Health, Energy, and Environment, include “apply[ing] clean production through specific goals and actions and serv[ing] as a management instrument to improve conditions related to production, the environment, hygiene and labor safety, energy efficiency [and] efficiency in the use of water.” SUBREI [Subsecretary of International Economic Relations] will play a role in this effort, including by providing support focused on “shared values and due diligence.”
Relatedly, SUBREI participated alongside the OECD in a “Due Diligence Awareness Workshop” for the dairy industry in which they presented a risk-based due diligence self-assessment tool.
