• Sustainable development has numerous definitions and its principles received universal agreement at the 1992 earth Summit: the concept of interdependence between nature, people and the economy, as well inter-generational equity, are universally shared.

• 106 countries have established national Sustainable development Strategies since the earth Summit in 1992 (re. cSd reporting).

• 120 sustainability frameworks have been developed by experts and businesses, ranging from environmental and social standards to corporate social responsibility and codes of good practices (re. itc Standards map).

• most initiatives have: predominant environmental criteria; social criteria related mostly to health, safety and employment; economic criteria limited to product quality and minimum wage requirements.

• the expansion of sustainability tools and various claims place a burden on producers and traders and frustrate consumers in the market place: what is sustainability in practice?

• analyzing all sustainability dimensions as a coherent whole and integrating them into business or development strategies remains a major challenge.

WHY SAFA?

to consolidate sustainability reporting by assessing performance of all pillars of sustainability, including the environment, social, economic and governance dimensions

to offer a fair playing field, adaptable to all contexts and sizes of agriculture, livestock, forestry, wild harvest, fisheries and aquaculture enterprises

to establish an international reference, based on common themes/objectives, for a multiplicity of uses, and permitting differentiation of means to achieve the same objective
