Amaggi Responsible Soy Standard logo
Amaggi Responsible Soy Standard
The Amaggi Responsible Soy Standard was created in order to help farmers make the first step towards responsible production and also preparation to RTRS, Proterra or ISCC certification. ARSS is a baseline level for responsible soy production and does by no means aim to compete with existing soy schemes. The purpose of AMAGGI Responsible Soy Standard, VERSION 1.0 is to establish minimum entry criteria for certification of producers and to work for the socio-environmental management culture with them. Producers, when ready, may also migrate to other international certificates, such as those already mentioned herein, as we identify the increase of market demand. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------O AMAGGI Responsible Soy Standard, Versão 1.0 é resultado de um processo dedesenvolvimento o qual teve como diretrizes principais as normas internas e padrões desustentabilidade e os compromissos institucionais da AMAGGI, o conhecimento adquirido em implantação de certificações internacionais reconhecidas como RTRS, ProTerra e ISCC e os requisitos ou orientações de compras estabelecidos por clientes, associações nacionais e internacionais, e organizações não governamentais.O ARSS não tem o objetivo de concorrer com as certificações internacionais existentes e devidamente reconhecidas por diversos stakeholders. A AMAGGI reconhece que estes padrões internacionais foram criados e/ou aprimorados contando com a participação de diversos atores importantes e que trazem diversas perspectivas que são extremamente importantes para construir certificações de alto padrão de qualidade e exigência.A AMAGGI é uma das empresas com maior percentual de soja certificada pela RTRS e ProTerra e continuará trabalhando para que este percentual seja mantido e/ou aumentado ao longo dos próximos anos e informaremos nossos resultados anualmente em nosso Relatório de Sustentabilidade.

Cefetra Certified Responsible Soya Standard logo
Cefetra Certified Responsible Soya Standard
Founded in 1988, Cefetra has become an international supply chain manager for feed, food and fuel, annually trading approximately 19 millions of tons of agricultural commodities. Of its total volume, the largest part consists of raw materials for animal feed, purchased worldwide and sold mainly in Northern and Central Europe. Cefetra ensures careful selection of suppliers worldwide and, consequently, has built long-lasting relationships with these producers. The company seeks to work with chain partners who – together with Cefetra – are willing to accept responsibility for creating a healthy balance between people, planet and profit, thus guaranteeing sustainable raw material flows. In conclusion, Cefetra aims to ensure that raw materials are cultivated and processed under ecologically sound and socially responsible conditions.
As well as being a member of the Round Table on Sustainable Palm Oil,1 in 2007 Cefetra also became a member of the Round Table on Responsible Soy.2 Through these platforms, producers, trade organizations, customers and non-governmental organizations work together to develop sustainability criteria that can be applied for the production of palm and soy products in the near future. Furthermore, Cefetra is a member of the Task Force Sustainable Soy,3 a platform of companies in the soybean chain that want to contribute to the development of sustainable soy cultivation. In order to work towards ecologically sound and socially responsible soy production, Cefetra in 2008 created the Certified Responsible Soy (CRS) Standard together with Control Union Certifications (CU). At the time the standard was established, a benchmark study was conducted on existing standards related to responsible soy production such as RTRS, ISCC7, and 2BSvs. However, although based on known market practices, the CRS program is unique due to the following
? Transparency: The CRS Standard only contains major indicators, resulting in transparency towards producers – all requirements must be met to obtain certification.
? Inclusion: The CRS Standard provides an opportunity for large, medium, and small scale producers to obtain certification by means of adopting an entry level approach; CRS certification can be the first step towards RTRS certification, which makes the standard a progressive program.
? Periodicity: The CRS Standard requires that all certified producers be audited on an annual basis.
? Principles: The CRS Standard covers the most important indicators to ensure ecologically sound and socially responsible soy.
? Continuous Improvement: The CRS Standard focuses on continuous improvement among producers.
? Detailed audit/compliance report: Producers certified against the CRS Standard receive a detailed report that allows them to track their developments to ensure continuous improvement, communicate their performance to clients, and obtain loans from investors by demonstrating independent acknowledgement of their good practices. After establishing the CRS Standard in 2008, several indicators were added to the standard and some were changed.
The final version consists of four main principles, each containing several indicators (see chapter 4). In the beginning of the CRS Standard, Cefetra mainly focused on producers in Argentina and Brazil. This resulted in extensive improvements in terms of more in-depth understanding of agricultural practices among different stakeholders throughout the supply chain, increased awareness of sustainability among both producers and farm workers, improved labor conditions on the certified farms, a more positive environmental impact, and better record keeping.

Eco Awards Namibia logo
Eco Awards Namibia
The Eco Awards Namibia programme was initiated in 2003 as a part of the Namibian Tourism Development Programme, aiming to establish a programme to promote, encourage and recognise sustainability of tourism throughout the country. The programme promotes the selective and careful use of our resources, promoting reducing, recycling and reusing. The criteria are based on similar schemes in several other countries and were amended to suit the Namibian environment. It was decided to concentrate initially on the accommodation sector, but the criteria are structured in such a way that they can be easily adapted at a later stage to cover other tourism sectors such as tour operators, car hire and safari operators. Any hospitality establishment - hotel, lodge or guest farm - can apply to be voluntarily assessed by Eco Awards Namibia and enterprises qualifying for an Eco Award Namibia are rewarded with between one and five desert flowers.

ETI does require, though, that members demonstrate that they continuously work towards compliance and that they report openly on their progress to ETI. * ETI is a stakeholders governed organisation, having business, trade union and NGO's as it main stakeholders. Companies, trade unions and NGO's can all become members. ETI together with its members and other stakeholders develops implementation practices, and gives guidance on code implementation. * The code is internationally well recognised, and has served as a basis for other other initiatives and codes to build on.

The framework does not set a standard for sustainable business operations, but it gives guidance on the ways in which business can report about them, in that way setting a standard for transparency. Any organization in any region worldwide may use the freely available GRI Sustainability Reporting Framework. Organizations which have completed their sustainability report can chose to publish it on the publicly accessible Sustainability Disclosure Database. The Global Reporting Initiative is a global network-based organization with its head quarters in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Around the world, there are 9 “Regional Hubs”. Their role is to advance the use of the reporting system at the country level, respond to the needs of local stakeholders, build capacity and value, and encourage the flow of knowledge and participation from the regions into GRI’s global network and activity.

Each member State is represented by a delegation consisting of government, employers and workers delegates. The Conventions and Recommendations are approved during the ILCs. World-wide, the Conventions and Recommendations are viewed as THE international labour standards. Virtually all sustainability initiatives, including certification systems, have taken the ILO labour standards as their reference for labour issues.

Kenya Flower Council (KFC) is a voluntary association of independent growers and exporters of cut-flowers and ornamentals, formed in 1996, with the aim of fostering responsible and safe production of cut flowers in Kenya with due consideration of workers welfare and protection of the environment. Against this background the KFC has become a common platform for industry representation, promotion and compliance to pertinent local and international standards, deemed necessary to secure markets. KFC administers compliance through an internationally accredited KFC Code of Practice (CoP) on good agricultural practice, sustainability, social accountability, hygiene health and safety, capacity building, environmental protection and conservation, adherence to which is the backbone of all KFC activities. The Certification Scheme comprising the KFC CoP and Quality Management Systems is accredited by the South African National Accreditation Systems (SANAS), as a Certification Body (C49), in accordance with ISO Guide 65:1999. In order to remain relevant, the Code which is a living document stays abreast with industry dynamics. Benchmarking the KFC CoP to other codes such as GlobalGap, Fair Flowers Fair Plants (FFP), Tescos Nurture, KS- 1758 in addition to 23 different Kenya Government statutes, provides an opportunity to conduct “Combi” audits as a measure of effective and efficient service to members. It also embraces the principles of the International Labour Organization (ILO) Convention, International Code of Conduct (ICC), Ethical Trade Initiatives (ETI) and the Horticulture Ethical Business Initiatives.

Naturland Fair logo
Naturland Fair
Naturland Fair Trade certification is a voluntary supplementary option for Naturland certified pro-ducers’ organisations, individual producers and processors. The term “business” will be used below to cover all these categories. Producers’ organisations are 1. Producers associations (collectives, co-operatives etc.) which sell the products of their members on a joint basis or 2. Companies which employ growers under contract (e. g. smallholders) or 3. other production operations with their own employees, such as plantations, social farming and similar systems. Individual producers are primarily family-run farms without any employees or only very few of them. Processors are importers, exporters, tradespeople and processing businesses. Businesses awarded a “Naturland Fair” certificate are designated “Naturland Fair partners”. Naturland Fair partners undertake to inform the individual producers who act as their suppliers about Naturland’s fair trade standards and the objectives of Naturland’s fair trade policy. Individual producers who supply goods to Naturland Fair partners are not required to be certified themselves to fair trade standards. In each and every case, the basis for fair trade certification is a valid certification by Naturland as organic. In types of products (e.g. wild fish), where the term “organic” is not applicable, the respec-tive Naturland certification is the basis for fair trade certification. The General Rules (Parts A. resp. C) of the respective Naturland standards are likewise applicable to fair trade certification.

Naturland Standards on Production logo
Naturland Standards on Production
Naturland is an independent, non-governmental, non-profit organisation which promotes organic farming with social responsibility and fair partnerships on a regional, national and global level. It supports long-term and fair business partnerships while putting a lot of efforts in developing projects with small scale farmers. Naturland is both an organic farmers association with farmers as members, delegates and directors as well as a standard setting and certification body with its own label. It is run with the principles of grassroots democracy. Naturland farmers and processors work to the highest organic standards, which are more stringent than the statutory requirements of the EU eco regulation. The Naturland standards apply to both production and to processing. Organic agriculture, as practised according to the Naturland standards, is based on a holistic, system-oriented approach. Partial conversion, such as permitted under the EU eco regulation, is not allowed on Naturland farms. The high level of the Naturland standards, for example where they govern the purchase of fertilisers or fodder (at least 50% of the fodder must have been produced on the farm itself) requires its members to manage their farms in a thoroughly professional manner. The detailed processing standards for each sphere of production follow through on the logic of the holistic concept – the standards must be complied with down the whole chain, from cultivation to the end product in the shop. The Naturland standards cover areas which are not governed by the EU eco regulation, such as social standards. Since 2005 the social responsibilities of all the Naturland members have been laid down in its standards. The Naturland objective is to establish organic agriculture managed according to fair trade principles throughout the world, thus setting an example for agricultural policies everywhere with this modern and most sustainable form of agricultural practice. Naturland standards include: Production, aquaculture, wild catch fisheries, bee keeping, forest management, processing, gastronomy, cosmetics, textiles, social responsibility and Naturland Fair. Naturland standards on production include the following branches of Plant production Livestock production Market gardening Shoots and germ buds Mushroom cultivation Cultivation of ornamental plants, herbaceous perennials, shrubs, Christmas trees Fruit Cultivation Viniculture Permanent tropical plantations Wild grown product Apart from its offices in Germany, Naturland works with a network of representatives in Egypt, Ecuador, India, Peru, Bolivia, Tanzania and in the USA. Naturland farmers and processors comply with the Naturland standards to produce top grade food-stuffs, from apples to cabbages, turkey to salmon, olive oil to elderberry liqueur, coffee to milk. The production and processing of everything produced to the Naturland standards preserves the environment and provides job security. In 2014, there were over 40,000 Naturland farms all over the world, cultivating according to the Naturland standards.

The PEFC Chain of Custody Certification is part of the certification system as developed and implemented by PEFC International. The Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) is an international non-profit, non-governmental organization dedicated to promoting Sustainable Forest Management (SFM) through independent third-party certification. PEFC works throughout the entire forest supply chain to promote good practice in the forest and to ensure that timber and non-timber forest products are produced with respect for the highest ecological, social and ethical standards. PEFC is an umbrella organization. It works by endorsing national forest certification systems developed through multi-stakeholder processes and tailored to local priorities and conditions. Pursuing these objectives, PEFC developed two standards, i.e. i) a Sustainable Forest Management Standard and ii) a Chain of Custody Certification Standard. The Chain of Custody Certification is a mechanism for tracking certified material from the forest to the final product to ensure that the wood, wood fibre or non-wood forest produce contained in the product or product line can be traced back to certified forests. It is an essential part of the PEFC system which ensures that claims about products originating in sustainably managed forests are credible and verifiable throughout the whole supply chain. In addition, the PEFC Due Diligence System (DDS) minimizes the risk that timber comes from illegal harvesting and enables companies to demonstrate alignment with regulatory requirements (e.g. EUTR). The PEFC DDS is an integral part of PEFC Chain of Custody certification.Both standards allow for group (or regional) certification as a mechanism through which groups of like-minded forest owners (forest certification) or enterprises along the timber value chain (Chain of Custody certification) to pool their resources to achieve third-party verified certification. The Key Features as below will focus on (ii) PEFC Chain of Custody Certification.

SAFA is objective-oriented. Indicators are designed to fulfil the Theme’s goals and the Sub-Themes objectives. Thus, individual practices are addressed only implicitly in term of their achievement of the stated objectives.

The WFTO Standard comprises a set of compliance criteria based on the 10 Fair Trade Principles and International Labour Organisation (ILO) conventions. Many of these criteria are mandatory requirements to join WFTO. There are also other non-mandatory requirements, where WFTO members must show continuous improvement over time. Compliance with this Standard will be assessed by various means, including the Self-Assessment Report, the Peer Visit and the Monitoring Audit. These are described in the WFTO Guarantee System Handbook. The Standard is subject to periodic review and changes under the guidance of the WFTO Standard and Guarantee System Committee. The GS was approved and implemented by the WFTO Membership in May 2013.
