United Nations Better trade for sustainable development: the
Book SynopsisThe 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development defines international trade as 'an engine for inclusive economic growth and poverty reduction, [that] contributes to the promotion of sustainable development'. In order to become a 'sustainable engine' one approach that seems to be increasingly used is to internalise social, economic and environmental concerns in international trade. This can be done by many different means and policy instruments and tools. This report focuses on a specific tool, namely Voluntary Sustainability Standards (VSS) which comprise of certification schemes, labeling programs and private standards. VSS aim to make global value chains - from producer to consumer - more sustainable, taking into account social and environmental requirements in the production process. VSS also often link developing countries (where many producers are based) to developed countries

The trade pact, which entered into force on 30 December 2018, is considered by many to be the ‘gold standard’, given its ambitious scope and depth.
