The Rainforest Alliance is creating a more sustainable world by using social and market forces to protect nature and improve the lives of farmers and forest communities. To achieve our mission, we partner with diverse allies around the world to drive positive change across global supply chains and in many of our most critically important natural landscapes.
Rainforest Alliance includes farmers and forest communities, companies, governments, civil society, and millions of individuals. Together we work to protect forests and biodiversity, take action on climate, and promote human rights and improve the livelihoods of rural people.
Their four main areas of work are all interconnected and have been designed to drive sustainability in the sectors and landscapes where we believe we can make the biggest difference for people and nature:
1. Certification: Provides a path toward more resilient and inclusive agricultural practices, with a focus on cocoa, coffee, tea, bananas, and other tropical commodities.
2. Landscape management: Develop and implement long-term conservation and community development programs in a number of critically important tropical landscapes.
3. Advocacy: Work with governments, companies, and civil society organizations to advance policies that support rural producers who invest in sustainability transformation.
4. Tailored supply chain services: Provide customized support to help companies define and achieve their sustainability commitments within certification and beyond.
