Ethical BioTrade Standard

After a public consultation process that reached 130 people and 60 organisations globally, UEBT published its revised Ethical BioTrade Standard in 2020.  We announced the new standard with a short video and communicated the new improvements such as:

• Better guidance on biodiversity conservation

• A greater focus on regenerative practices

• A more outcome-based approach

• More guidance on cost calculation and fair price

• Better alignment with legal and policy developments related to ABS

• Further alignment with UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights

• Further alignment with ILO conventions

• A continuous improvement approach
