believes it is its social responsibility to contribute to
promoting more sustainable soy production. It is
consequently committed to helping bring about
soy production that does not result in deforestation
and social injustice, but that rather fulfils a range of
broadly supported social and environmental
criteria. The soy sector established the Round Table
on Responsible Soy (RTRS) for this purpose.
The members of the RTRS are dedicated to
achieving a balanced set of social and
environmental criteria. This means that both
current and new soy plantations and the links
further down in the soy production chain can
now be assessed and certified on the basis
of these criteria. Rabobank is a participating
member of the RTRS.
