The seminar « Social rights, environmental rights and Sustainable management in the Brazilian
Sugar-Alcohol industry » comes as a follow up of the 2 previous seminars organized by the NGO Ethical
Sugar.
In 2004, Ethical Sugar led the multi stakeholder seminar « Economic globalisation and globalisation of
social and environment rights » at the occasion of the UNCTAD XI meeting in São Paulo city.
In 2006, Ethical Sugar conducted another seminar on « Social and environment issues in the sugarcane sector ».
The objective of this third seminar is to bring together the various actors of the civil society linked to the
sugarcane sector, in order to come up with consensual bases of social dialogue, and draw improvement
schemes for the sector, that would be based upon the social, economic and environmental legal framework.
A special focus will be made on the Brazilian regulation in order to enable the sector to develop a real social
responsibility policy, that is to say, far beyond the « legal minima ».
