At AdvanceTech we take the relationship we have with The Rainforest Alliance very seriously and for every placement we make we give a donation to The Rainforest Alliance.
Our small contribution helps them to carry on doing their great work for the rainforest and its inhabitants for the foreseeable future.
The Rainforest Alliance works to conserve biodiversity and ensure sustainable livelihoods by transforming land-use practices, business practices and consumer behaviour.
We believe that the best way to keep forests standing is by ensuring that it is profitable for businesses and communities to do so, in an environmentally friendly way.
That means helping farmers, forest managers and tourism businesses realize greater economic benefits by ensuring ecosystems within and around their operations are protected, and that their workers are well trained and enjoy safe conditions, proper sanitation, health care and housing.
Once businesses meet certain environmental and social standards, The Rainforest Alliance will link them up to the global marketplace where demand for sustainable goods and services are on the rise.
"Those businesses that meet the standards for their field earn access to the Rainforest Alliance family of marks, which distinguish their products and services in the marketplace. These marks make it easy for consumers to identify a legitimately sustainable product or service and support those businesses that are acting responsibly".
• Farms that meet the comprehensive criteria of the Sustainable Agriculture Network earn the right to use The Rainforest Alliance Certified™ Seal.
• Forestry businesses that comply with the rigorous standards of the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) may use The Rainforest Alliance Certified™ Seal in conjunction with the FSC logo.
• Tourism companies that demonstrate progress toward minimizing their environmental footprint and supporting their workers, local cultures and surrounding communities receive The Rainforest Alliance Verified™ Mark.
