• Mitigation: Overall, the progress achieved in 2025 is laying a solid foundation for long‑term partnership and meaningful change in Bulgaria’s Rose Valley. Collaboration between companies, public institutions, and community actors has begun to create a more coordinated and accountable environment – one in which risks are identified earlier, support reaches those who need it most, and responsible sourcing becomes a shared commitment rather than an isolated effort.
