Pourquoi nous le faisons
Un cadre pour tous
Le cadre de durabilité de Preferred by Nature est un cadre universel qui représente les aspects fondamentaux de la durabilité. En intégrant les aspects essentiels de la durabilité dans tous les produits et paysages de production, le cadre de durabilité est un bon point de départ pour ceux qui cherchent à avoir un impact réel.
Le cadre peut être appliqué dans le cadre d'une approche basée sur le risque pour obtenir la certification Preferred by Nature. En outre, il a été aligné sur les exigences du règlement de l'UE sur la déforestation (EUDR) afin d'aider les secteurs concernés à se mettre en conformité.

Preferred by Nature and Martin Guitar share the same vision: ‘To pass on the Earth to coming generations in a good shape, we must urgently invent and adopt more sustainable ways of living, sourcing and trading.
Martin Guitar
Preferred by Nature took the time to understand our questions and problem statement. Their Sustainability Framework is a great starting point to assess materials and the risks associated with including them in your supply chain.
P&G
The work done for us by Preferred by Nature and their Brazilian partner for this collaboration, Imaflora, is excellent. The report that was produced is very good, but when you look at the raw data backing that report up, it is really a goldmine. It is the encyclopedia of sugar cane sourcing in this part of Brazil.
Tetra Pak
