Why we do it?
A framework for everyone
Preferred by Nature’s Sustainability Framework is a universal framework representing core aspects of sustainability. By integrating the essential aspects of sustainability across all commodities and production landscapes, the Sustainability Framework is a good starting point for those seeking to deliver real impact.
The Framework can be applied through a risk-based approach to attain the Preferred by Nature Certification. Additionally, it has been aligned with the requirements of the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) to assist affected sectors in achieving compliance.
4 pillars of Sustainability Framework
We are measuring our data based on our developed Framework consisting of four topics:
Principle 1:
Management and business practices are legal and responsible
Principle 2:
People’s well-being and human rights are respected
Principle 3:
Nature and the environment are protected
Principle 4:
Climate impacts are reduced and mitigated
Use the Framework to identify your sustainable impacts
Are you a large business?
Are you a small business?
Are you a consumer?
Are you an organisation?

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.
