2020 Certification Program

The extraordinary global events of 2020, coupled with the escalating climate crisis, highlight the urgent need to transform our relationship with our natural resources and tackle systemic social injustices head-on. The need to embrace sustainability has never been greater. As experts in sustainable agriculture with more than 30 years’ experience, we recognize that now is the time to begin “reimagining certification” as we know it.

The Rainforest Alliance 2020 Certification Program defines our long-term vision for the future, and the path required to get us there. The Sustainable Agriculture Standard, along with its assurance and technology systems, are designed to deliver more value to the two million farmers and thousands of businesses that use Rainforest Alliance certification to drive more sustainable agricultural production and responsible supply chains.
