Effective Grievance Mechanisms as Competitive Advantage? How can agribusiness firms and clusters benefit from effective social dialogues with civil society organisations about worker rights and environmental risks ? What are the skills required for leaders in these organisations? I had the privilege to moderate a panel at the IFAMA Business Forum in Almería this week, to add these questions to the international agribusiness research and education agenda. Thank you to Catherine Morgans and Ruben Romero Masegosa for joining me and sharing their experience and recommendations with the audience. We will feature their core messages in our upcoming newsletter and on the appellando GmbH LinkedIn page.

appelando is happy to announce how far we have come in starting our work in Spain, our pilot country. Our unique approach of partnering with local helpline providers has led us to a potential partner who shares our values and commitment to social dialogue. We have been working through the challenges of reconciling different legal systems and protecting confidentiality while enabling companies in supply chains to foster social dialogue and resolve conflicts internally. Our commitment to doing things in an inclusive and truly collaborative way means that we may experience a small delay in our original plan to get started and scale in Spain, but we believe that taking the time to do things right is more important than rushing to meet a deadline. In June, we will seek our supporters' input on our draft agreement that we plan to sign with the possible partner. We will then talk about this result with their main members and stakeholders. We appreciate your interest in this initiative and invite you to follow us! (Picture made by DALL-E3)
