    Goals / Remit

    The Rainforest Alliance is an international non-profit organization working in more than 60 countries at the intersection of business, agriculture and forests. The organization aims to create a better future for people and nature by making responsible business the new normal. By bringing farmers, forest communities, companies and consumers together it addresses some of the most pressing social and environmental challenges of today. The organization changes the way the world produces, sources and consumes, with a focus on cocoa, coffee, tea, bananas, forest products and palm oil through its certification program, tailored supply chain services, landscape and community work and advocacy. In 2018, seven million hectares of land are under Rainforest Alliance or UTZ agricultural certification and more than 2 million​ certified farmers are certified with one of these two standards, which are designed to improve economic, environmental and social sustainability.

    Main EU files targeted

    The Rainforest Alliance follows the policy areas of agriculture, food labeling, public procurement, sustainable development, human rights and related subjects. Key EU policies include: the proposed EU regulation on deforestation-free products, the proposed Corporate sustainability due diligence directive, Substantiating green claims, and export ban on harmful pesticides.
