    Not just companies, but governments and citizens too have a responsibility in making global value chains more sustainable. That is what Désirée van Gorp, professor of International Business at Nyenrode Business University, firmly believes.

What is good for us must also be good for people in the countries where we move our activities to, such as production processes.”
