Intensification of production methods and mechanisation of processes are associated with unwanted degradation and exploitation of resources, unemployment and unequal distribution of wealth. Whereas companies and individuals understand that ecological production and fairer trade chains have positive impacts on the natural environment and societies, in practice the transformation to alternative production forms may pose certain challenges. In our team we assist you with:
Ecological farming
There are many forms of ecological farming: organic, biodynamic and permaculture being the best known. All of them have their peculiarities and what is best for your individual situation will likely be influenced by a number of factors. We provide information and training on different production methods and equip you with the necessary capacity to assess benefits and challenges in order to decide which might be the most useful for your own situation.
Eco labelling and value chains
While ecological production can be a form of substitute farming, certain producers have discovered eco labelling as a niche for market and product development. Eco labelling can definitely be an effective form to better promote your goods or to give them the recognition they deserve.
We have extensive experience with a variety of standards and certification processes and can also facilitate access to markets that may accommodate your goods.
Ecological production in manufacturing processes
Optimising production processes and supply chains, we help your company to minimise negative environmental and social impacts. Be it qualitative or quantitative, tools such as life cycle assessments (LCA), carbon footprint analysis, environmental audits, or the establishing of an environmental management systems (EMS) will help you to identify potential for improvements and cost savings.
Fair trade and responsible supply chains
Sourcing in international markets can be complex. Companies are exposed to a multitude of risks and the slightest mistakes can cause harm that often results in loss of reputation. We make sure that this won’t happen. By going further than simply formulating CSR policies for the records, we help you to transform your supply chains in order for you to fulfill your commitment towards fair trade policies, a healthy environment, responsible producers, healthy local communities, and trading partners that are respected as partners working together towards a mutual goal.
