During a SIZA audit, when a SIZA auditor makes a finding, the auditor must allocate a risk rating to each finding. The risk rating of the finding will be based on the root cause of the problem and certain risk factors observed on the day.

In today’s compliance-driven marketplace, having real-time visibility into suppliers’ compliance information is essential for buyers aiming to mitigate risks and ensure adherence to Social and Environmental standards. The MySIZA platform stands out as a cutting-edge, globally competitive solution for the South African agricultural industry. 

This collaboration between the two platforms allows members to capture their monthly inputs and outputs using the SIZA Digital Recordkeeping Programme, and for the annualised data to be sent to Confronting Climate Change’s platform in order for a Carbon Footprint calculation to be conducted.

By offering data-driven insights, digital records help farmers anticipate challenges like climate change and pest outbreaks, enabling them to take proactive measures to minimise risks and maintain farm resilience. Embracing digital solutions is essential for farmers aiming to stay ahead in a rapidly evolving agricultural landscape.

Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions play a pivotal role in the global discourse on climate change, prompting organisations to scrutinise their environmental impact.

As the agricultural landscape transitions towards sustainability and global markets demand ethical and sustainable compliance, the integration of effective monitoring and traceability mechanisms becomes a game-changer for your business’s success.

In our commitment to environmental stewardship, we are excited to delve into the intricacies of a topic that resonates with the core values of SIZA — The Carbon Footprint.

Farm data plays a crucial role in enhancing market access for agricultural producers. Market Access requires compliance with specific quality standards and certifications. Farm data, such as records of agricultural practices, inputs used, and traceability information, can help suppliers to meet these standards.

SIZA has heard and recognised retailers’ and buyers’ need for a cost-effective and streamlined monitoring programme to evaluate and monitor their supply chains and, therefore has incorporated a digital recordkeeping traceability functionality as part of the well-established MySIZA platform.
