Governance
UEBT - Sourcing with Respect is an international nonprofit created in 2007 in Switzerland.
We provide a platform for companies along botanical supply chains and are governed through inclusive and multi-stakeholder processes.
Our Board of Directors includes representatives from companies engaged formally in our platform, and no less than one-third of the Board is made up of independent representatives from different types of civil society organisations that bring a wealth of perspectives, experience and expertise.
General assembly
The General Assembly consists of all companies in the UEBT membership platform. It meets once per year.
Board of directors
The General Assembly elects the UEBT Board of Directors, which governs UEBT and gives strategic direction to UEBT staff in support of the mission and vision.

The day-to-day management of the organisation is in the hands of UEBT’s small team of local and international experts. The UEBT team works to:
- Bring companies together via a vibrant platform to share experiences and promote joint action.
- Support continuous improvement of sourcing practices and impacts, through credible assurance and verifiable claims.
- Advance sourcing with respect through guidance, tools and support.
