RAINFOREST ALLIANCE
TOP 10 – SUSTAINABILITY CERTIFICATIONS
RAINFOREST ALLIANCE
CEO: SANTIAGO GOWLAND FOUNDED: 1987 HEADQUARTERS: NEW YORK, US FOCUS: AGRICULTURE
The Rainforest Alliance provides an environmental certification for sustainability in agriculture alongside developing and implementing conservation and community development programmes. Rather than having predefined targets, farmers will set their own targets for improvements and define the actions needed to achieve them.
Founder and Chairman Daniel Katz says:“ Our work is groundbreaking; certification has not only helped companies recognise the impact of their sourcing choices, but has also helped connect consumers with the farmers and forest communities who steward the world’ s most precious landscapes.”
