An independent scoping study has been conducted for the FACT Dialogue Secretariat to enhance common understanding of sustainable commodity production and to inform FACT member countries. To illustrate the findings, a sustainability matrix was developed around four main components of sustainability. It compares the environmental, social, economic, and political factors of sustainability for representative examples of commodities from both consumer and producer countries, providing a valuable tool for countries to discuss sustainability in a systematic manner and within the local context.
