Summary
This document provides a brief primer on how to engage in 'thought leadership' activities to influence senior decision-makers in businesses and financial institutions in agricultural commodity supply chains (producers, processors, traders, brands, investors, and others), within the specific context of Indonesia. It provides additional guidance for using the Value Beyond Value Chains (VBV) material for influencing senior private sector decision makers to engage beyond their value chains. VBV focuses on how to increase the effectiveness of private sector collaboration with national and subnational governments in developing countries, to help build the enabling conditions for the sustainable production of major agricultural commodity crops that are driving deforestation. The recommendations within this document have been informed by interviews with members of the Good Growth Partnership (GGP) and in the sustainability sector and private sector, as well as a workshop of around 15 participants from the GGP's Indonesian and international communities.
