In 2020, supported by CIAT, the Dutch Entrepreneurial Development Bank (FMO) designed an environmental and social risk assessment tool to assess risk issues in Mercon Coffee Group’s supply chain. This enabled Mercon to redesign how it manages sustainable sourcing. In 2021, FMO asked CIAT to standardize the tool; in 2022 FMO is applying the standardized tool (still under development) with a trading group that imports and exports commodities to and from more than 40 countries in Africa, and with a cocoa processor in Ivory Coast.
