Background
In 2002 Nestlé, Unilever and Danone created the SAI Platform, a non-profit organisation to facilitate sharing, at precompetitive level, of knowledge and best practices to support the development and implementation of sustainable agriculture practices involving stakeholders throughout the food value chain.
The SAI Platform today counts over 90 members, which actively share the same view on sustainable agriculture. The SAI Platform develops (or co-develops) tools and guidance to support global and local sustainable sourcing and agriculture practices, such as the Farm Sustainability Assessment (FSA) program.
