Introduction & Background
At GPSNR, we bring together companies, smallholders, academia and civil society to transform the natural rubber supply chain into a sustainable, equitable and fair one.
Even though it was launched just in 2018, more than 50% of the world’s natural rubber demand already finds membership in GPSNR. This is only a small reflection of the amount of work that has taken place over the last three years.

- Integrate components in the CMS to allow review and testing, and make corresponding adjustments based on feedback received.
Liaise with GPSNR’s Communications Manager to ensure that the mockups are feasible for the GPSNR website.
Terms
