Sustainability reporting and the information support of stakeholders within the supply chains of products with geographical indications

Summary/Abstract: Purpose: The paper examines how sustainability reporting can enhance the informational support of stakeholders within Geographical Indication Product (GIP) supply chains through an empirical analysis of the Geographic Indications (GIs) developmental effects and the alignment of reporting frameworks to Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) and Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) schemes. Methodology/approach: The study is based on regression analysis of data taken from the World Bank and eAmbrosia to study the connection between GI, agricultural land, rural population size, agricultural employment levels, and value added; content analysis was then used to examine GRI as a sustainability reporting framework. Findings: The results show that the number of registered GIs positively affects added value in agriculture, forestry, and fisheries. The paper also suggests key performance indicators and reporting methods to improve sustainability in GI systems. Research limitations/implications: The study uses national-level data, which may not reflect local differences. Thus, the proposed indicators and reporting methods may need to be adjusted for different regions, products, or organisations. Originality/value: The study combines GI analysis, local development, and sustainability reporting. It develops a tailored sustainability reporting framework for PDO and PGI schemes, enhancing informational support for stakeholders in GIP supply chains.
