SIZA, the Sustainability Initiative of South Africa, provides a platform for agricultural stakeholders to ensure ethical and environmentally sustainable trade. This platform monitors care for the environment and ethical labour compliance. SIZA’s aim is to encourage continuous improvement in practices over time in excess of the minimum legal requirements.
SIZA engage directly with stakeholders throughout the value chain in order to identify needs and issues. Interventions and support tools are created by measuring member compliance over time.We want to drive fundamental change for farmers and this begins with rethinking the existing methods of both service and delivery. We plan to democratize access to modern agricultural inputs such as equipment, fertilizer, pesticides, and seeds
The South African fruit industry took a decision to respond to the need to provide retailers and their consumers with assurances of fair labour practices in their supply base, by supporting the development of a single South African based ethical standard and programme that would meet all retailer requirements.
