Dutch Sustainable Trade Initiative (IDH)

Mission of IDH is the acceleration and up-scaling of sustainability within mainstream commodity markets.

The focus is on mainstreaming the social and ecological sustainability of commodity supplies from emerging markets to the Netherlands and Western Europe.

In this way, IDH is working on the Millennium Development Goals for poverty reduction, sustainable environment, and an open trading and financial system (MDGs 1, 7 and 8).

IDH cooperates with Solidaridad in the Tea programme, the Cocoa programme and the Soy programme.
