El Compromiso del Sector Privado con el “Hambre Cero”

The document outlines the framework for the Private Sector Commitment to "Zero Hunger," a non-binding initiative encouraging companies to align investments with science-based evidence to end hunger by 2030. It details four types of financial commitments—core commercial investments, subsidized contributions, cash, and in-kind contributions—and requires alignment with at least one of ten high-impact intervention areas and one priority country or region. The guide emphasizes national ownership, requiring companies to partner with governments or recommended international organizations like the FAO or WFP. Progress is monitored through annual reports and the World Benchmarking Alliance's Food and Agriculture Benchmark (FAB).

• The commitment is a non-binding statement of proposed investment plans and does not create legally enforceable obligations or legal partnerships between the signing company and other parties.
• Financial commitments are categorized into four types: core commercial investments (the primary source), subsidized contributions (such as selling goods below market price), cash contributions (via ESG or charitable activities), and in-kind contributions (such as providing intellectual property, credit, or employee time).
• To ensure national ownership and alignment with national priorities, companies are strongly encouraged to partner with specific organizations, including the FAO (Hand-in-Hand initiative), GAIN, Grow Africa, Grow Asia, IFAD, One Acre Fund, the WEF (Food Action Alliance), and the WFP.
• Signatories must adhere to several international principles, including the Committee on World Food Security's Principles for Responsible Investment in Agriculture and Food Systems (CFS-RAI), the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, and the UN Global Compact Principles.
• The initiative requires new future investments; past investments cannot be included, although existing commitments made in 2020 that continue through 2025 may be included from the date of signing.
• Progress and accountability are managed through annual reports and monitoring by the World Benchmarking Alliance (WBA) using the Food and Agriculture Benchmark (FAB), which links ten FAB indicators to the ten high-impact investment areas.
