This interactive workshop is designed for Namibian exporters who want to stay ahead of the curve on emerging EU sustainability regulations and learn practical ways to implement human rights and environmental due diligence effectively.

Time: 8:30 - 15:00

Participants: 30 seats available only
The EU is the world’s second-largest single market, offering great potential for Namibian exporters. But growing ESG requirements by investors, buyers, consumers and regulators are rapidly changing the trade landscape. Through enhanced corporate practices and emerging regulations such as the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) and the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD), European buyers are increasingly demanding transparent and sustainable supply chains to secure their own license to operate.
The ESG Supply Chain Gathering will:
✅ Expert insights: Learn the latest developments in EU supply chain regulations and implications for exporters.
✅ Peer learning: Hear from local businesses on their ESG journey – successes, challenges, and lessons learned.
✅ Practical tools & resources: Explore easy-to-use ESG management and supply chain sustainability tools.
✅ Actionable steps: Participate in activities designed to kick-start your ESG strategy.
✅ Needs assessment: Contribute to discussions around ESG and human rights challenges in Namibia and help shape future support initiatives.
The ESG Supply Chain Gathering is supported by the German Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and implemented by the Southern African-German Chamber of Commerce and Industry (AHK) in cooperation with:
Namibia Chamber of Commerce and Industry (NCCI)
