Sri Lankan exporters are getting crucial support from key institutions in Europe to successfully meet with the standards the European importers require when importing goods and services from Sri Lanka.
These sustainability standards are partially politically driven, but they are also more and more consumer and industry driven. Besides, in line with the existing official legally binding standards, European importers require more and more consumer and industry driven standards such as Fair trade, BSCI, SA8000 and IFS.
The Delegation of German Industry and Commerce (AHK Sri Lanka) and the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom (FNF) co-organized their second conference on “Sustainable Supply Chains as drivers of global competitiveness”, in Colombo on Wednesday.
