Bananas are the world’s most exported and consumed fresh fruit. Ensuring a just and resilient supply chain increasingly relies on Human Rights Due Diligence (HRDD), especially as new EU regulations like the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) and Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) mandate compliance across the banana sector.

A webinar, organized by Victor Prada and Valeria Villacorta, examines how integrating Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) into HRDD strengthens business performance, enhances worker well-being, and fosters resilient, equitable supply chains. This human rights-based, gender-sensitive approach improves operational efficiency, reduces costs, and boosts worker productivity and loyalty.

Students Miguel, Michal, and Andy developed an innovative solution to save water by repurposing waste plastic bottles in toilet cisterns. Originating from an educational program, their project addresses both plastic waste and water conservation. They aim to educate communities and demonstrate how this simple idea can make a significant global impact.

Presenting their CAS project at a TEDx event, they hope to inspire audiences to adopt their water-saving recommendations at home. Their goal is to spread this meaningful idea widely, showing how a small change can lead to a big difference. Learn more about TEDx at https://www.ted.com/tedx.
