SAI Platform at a glance
Three of the largest food producers in the world, DANONE, NESTLÉ and UNILEVER, recognizing that sustainability is critical to secure a constant, growing, and safe supply of agricultural raw materials came together in 2002 to found the Sustainable Agriculture Initiative (SAI) Platform – a non-profit organization dedicated to actively supporting the development of sustainable global agriculture practices involving all stakeholders of the food supply chain.
The SAI Platform today includes corporate 23 members*, with estimated sales of USD 340 billion, which actively work together on a pre-competitive basis to promote sustainable agriculture as a productive, competitive and efficient way of producing agricultural products, while at the same time protecting and improving the natural environment and social/economic conditions of local communities.
SAI Platform members are organized in crop/issue specific working groups including: Coffee, Dairy, Fruit, Potatoes-Vegetables-Cereals, and Water and Agriculture. Working group members meet on a regular basis to share information and knowledge on sustainable agriculture practices. Every member company carries out “in-house” pilot projects on certain crops or crop-related issues in their supply chain. After completion of the pilot project, a cost-benefit analysis is carried out in order to assess the sustainability performance, and the results are widely disseminated. Today more than 150 projects are being carried out in over 30 countries. Additionally, the SAI Platform works to share expertise with many universities and organizations and holds a variety of seminars and conferences on issues pertaining to Sustainable Agriculture. The SAI Platform Secretariat is based in Brussels, in the building of the CIAA (Confederation of the Food and Beverage Industries of the EU).
