The Rainforest Alliance is an international non-profit organisation dedicated to conserving biodiversity and promoting environmentally sustainable and socially just practices. It is made up of an alliance of farmers, forest communities, companies, and consumers committed to creating a world where people and nature thrive in harmony.
The 2020 Rainforest Alliance Sustainable Agriculture Standard is inclusive of its assurance and technology systems. They are designed to deliver more value to over two million farmers and thousands of businesses dependent on Rainforest Alliance certification for driving sustainable agriculture production and responsible supply chains.
The Standard is used in more than 70 countries across various commodities such as coffee, cocoa, tea, bananas and many other important commodity sectors facing urgent environmental and social challenges.
Preferred by Nature supports the use of surprise audits to monitor Certificate Holders' compliance with the Rainforest Alliance 2020 Certification Program.
This certification provides a clear roadmap for sustainable farming. It offers actionable strategies for better crops, climate change adaptation, productivity enhancement, sustainability goals and fostering transparency and responsible business practices.
With this supply chain certification, companies can source and sell certified products with the Rainforest Alliance Certified™ seal. This meets the rising demand for sustainable goods, eases new market entry, and lowers potential reputational risks.
Check the complete list of active Rainforest Alliance Certified™ farm and supply chain certificates to verify which operations are eligible to trade and label agricultural products with the Rainforest Alliance Certified seal.
