PORTLAND, OR - For GLOBALG.A.P., sustainability is one of its core tenets, which makes its recent ISEAL Community Member status that much more important to the organization. Following a months-long qualification process, the industry ally was given membership status, which further solidifies its commitment to taking on sustainability challenges.
“GLOBALG.A.P. is proud to have achieved ISEAL Community Member status, and to have gained an important partner in ISEAL. This is a further step on our important mission towards broader sustainability recognition. We are delighted that our long-standing commitment to sustainability is bearing fruit,” said Dr. Kristian Moeller, Managing Director at GLOBALG.A.P. “As a new ISEAL Community Member, we look forward to continuously improving our system and further enhancing our solutions by participating in ISEAL’s learning, collaboration, and innovation activities.”
ISEAL supports ambitious sustainability systems in order to tackle some of the globe’s most pressing issues, according to a release. With a growing worldwide network and focus on credible practices, the organization creates impacts and makes markets a force for good.
As an ISEAL Community Member, GLOBALG.A.P. will collaborate with other well-known members and their sustainability systems from diverse industries to analyze some of the biggest environmental challenges.
To qualify as an ISEAL Community Member, GLOBALG.A.P. conducted a self-assessed gap analysis against the desired outcomes of the ISEAL Standard-Setting, Assurance, and Impacts Codes. The organization then drafted an improvement plan outlining objectives and areas that need special attention. GLOBALG.A.P. is also developing a monitoring and evaluation system, which will play a key role as it takes the next steps toward achieving ISEAL Code Compliant status.
“I would like to congratulate GLOBALG.A.P. on becoming an ISEAL Community Member,” said Karin Kreider, Executive Director of ISEAL. “This exciting step reflects GLOBALG.A.P.’s commitment to ongoing improvement and deepening their credible practices as they work to improve food safety on farms across the globe, while safeguarding the welfare of farming communities and their surrounding environments.”
