    The publication "Guidance on core indicators for agrifood systems – Measuring the private sector’s contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals" aims to provide practical information on how food and agriculture companies’ contribution to the SDGs can be measured in a consistent manner and in alignment with countries’ needs relating to monitoring the attainment of Agenda 2030. The indicators are further intended to serve as a tool to assist governments in:
    • improving private sector’s accountability mechanisms and assessing their contribution to SDG implementation, in particular on key transformative actions needed to achieve the SDGs;
    • setting standards and policies for corporate sustainability reporting, establishing national private sector reporting mechanisms, and enabling the reporting on SDG Indicator 12.6.1 (Number of companies publishing sustainability reports); and
    • potentially reusing the data reported by private entities to improve SDG monitoring at the national level.
    Available in a user-friendly format, the guidance begins with a quick guide that provides a brief overview of the indicators, the audience, scope, and data collection. It is followed by methodological guidance, which provides in-depth detail on the methodology behind each indicator and useful resources for capturing, measuring, and reporting on data for each indicator. Finally, in the annexes, there is a mapping of how the indicators align with various standards and guidance.

    Annual report on private sector engagement 2023 2024
    Engagement with the private sector represents an opportunity for FAO to more efficiently deliver on its mandate, advance progress towards the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals, and ensure better production, better nutrition, a better environment and a better life for all, leaving no one behind. FAO’s Strategy for Private Sector Engagement 2021-2025 encourages a more open, proactive approach to working with the private sector to bring about transformative change and innovation, as well as sustainable impact and benefits. This report looks at how FAO's engagement with the private sector developed during in 2023, the third year of implementation of this strategy. It documents major achievements and lessons learned during the year, explores the diversity of private sector landscapes across FAO’s five regions, and outlines priorities for the year to come.
