In a three-stage process, a consistent and strong certification system is developed that includes all important sustainability criteria as well as information on greenhouse gas emissions.
In the first phase of the project, a concept for the indicators and criteria is developed. In the second phase, the quality and feasibility will be tested in pilot operations. The third phase is the transfer of the certification system into regular operation.
Due to its expertise, the Global Nature Fund works explicitly on the ecological sustainability criteria in coconut cultivation and accompanies all three phases of the project.
