A dutch entrepreneurial development bank is using a risk assessment tool developed by the alliance with its clients.

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 the Export Trading Group (ETG), and Ivory Cocoa Products Société Anonyme, a cocoa processor in Ivory Coast.
