The goal of this certification is to maintain biodiversity and to ensure sustainable living conditions. Rainforest Alliance does this by influencing the policy of companies, consumer behaviour and the use of land. This certification puts emphasis on the environment and labour circumstances during the production process. For more information on Rainforest Alliance click here.

Fairfood in relation to Rainforest Alliance
Through the Product Fairness investigation, Fairfood asks brand owners a number of set questions. A number of these questions match Rainforest Alliance criteria such as the questions concerning child labour, forced labour, working conditions, discrimination, certainty on food resources and monitoring and maintaining the environment.

When assessing products carrying the Rainforest Alliance certification, brand owners no longer have to answer these questions. Fairfood considers the certification by Rainforest Alliance to be a possible solution for increasing product sustainability.
