FAO’s Work on Corporate Environmental Responsibility
FAO is committed to reducing emissions, increasing efficiency, and integrating sustainability into its daily operations in the areas of facilities management, travel and procurement. These efforts are in coordination with the other UN agencies and the United Nations movement Greening the Blue.
