Astrid Kaag serves as a Policy Advisor at Mondiaal FNV, where she plays a pivotal role in advancing international trade union cooperation and enhancing labor rights within global supply chains. With a specialized focus on the fresh fruit and vegetable sector in Peru and the palm oil industry in Indonesia, Astrid leverages her extensive expertise in corporate social responsibility and public policy to drive meaningful change. Her work involves collaborating closely with local trade unions to build their capacity and strengthen their advocacy efforts, ensuring that workers' rights are upheld in these critical industries.
One of Astrid's key projects includes her involvement with the "International Palm Oil Workers United," where she works on fostering solidarity among workers and promoting fair labor practices across borders. This initiative not only addresses the immediate challenges faced by palm oil workers but also contributes to a broader dialogue on sustainable practices and human rights within the industry.
Astrid's background in development cooperation and program management equips her with the skills necessary to navigate complex stakeholder landscapes, including NGOs, government entities, and non-profits. Her commitment to capacity building and training empowers trade unions to effectively advocate for their members, ensuring that labor rights are prioritized in supply chain discussions. Through her strategic policy analysis and organizational development efforts, Astrid is dedicated to creating a more equitable global economy, where workers in Peru, Indonesia, and Colombia can thrive in safe and just working conditions.
