Structuring sustainable, concrete and verifiable commitments
Structuring a sustainability approach is essential to strengthen the credibility of commitments, ensure compliance with current regulations, and meet the environmental and social expectations of stakeholders.
JLB Sustainability supports its clients in defining, deploying and monitoring multiple projects, tailored to a variety of challenges:
- Defining a sustainability strategy or roadmap, based on internal objectives, risk analyses, or stakeholder needs assessments.
- Formalizing sustainability expectations to harmonize the practices of suppliers and partners.

Discover our rubber traceability protocol
Co-developed with the trader Edelsource (formerly Cocoasource), this protocol is dedicated to rubber traceability for smallholders and establishes the requirements for setting up a robust system for the traceability of rubber from farms to export.
The main objective of this protocol is to ensure the full traceability of rubber cup lumps, by providing reliable information on the geolocation of production plots and the production period.
Templates and tools are made available to support all stakeholders, from smallholder farmers to local exporters, in order to ensure their compliance with the requirements set out in the protocol.
