The 2021 Fixing the Business of Food report provides an update on the food and agribusiness sector’s alignment with the SDGs, as well as offering guidelines to help companies accomplish the change of direction needed to address this challenge. Fixing the Business of Food recommends that companies test their strategies and activities across four key areas: beneficial products and strategies, sustainable business operations and internal processes, sustainable supply and value chains, and good corporate citizenship. The report introduces this 4-pillar Framework and a set of 21 corresponding standards to lead the change towards more sustainable food systems. The report outlines the results of some empirical studies conducted to analyze the alignment of food companies with the SDGs through the framework.
