The report shows significant growth in sustainability markets. The data is extensive and reliable. It shows how ITC is supporting �good trade� that contributes to environmental and social sustainability for producers and consumers. Each product (bananas, cotton, etc.) also features serious sustainability challenges: child labour, water scarcity, workers� rights, use of chemicals, etc.. Thus, this report is potentially of interest to journalists. It provides transparency by summarizing those challenges, and by showing which standards initiatives are gaining traction � thus helping to address major societal problems.
