About us

SAI

Access to the food market

Our certifications 2BSvs and 2BSXtra are recognized as equivalent to FSA Silver certification in Europe! 

This equivalence allows players to market their raw materials in the food market under the “FSA 3.0 silver compliant” label. 

SAI

The Sustainable Agriculture Initiative (SAI) is an organization promoting environmentally-friendly practices.

To this end, it has developed the Farm Sustainability Assessment (FSA), a tool for measuring farm sustainability. This tool gives access to the food market thanks to a global framework that helps farmers assess and improve the sustainability of their activity.

Existing sustainability programs can be benchmarked against the FSA. This assessment has enabled 2BSvs and 2BSXtra to achieve the silver level of FSA 3.0.

SAI equivalence

The 2BS-FSA equivalence enables you to claim materials as “FSA 3.0 compliant”.

This equivalence allows you to promote your sustainable products in the food industry industry.

Access to the equivalence

In France, first gathering points (cooperatives) and traders can automatically benefit from this equivalence.

The cooperatives will be certified under the 2BS standard 01. Traders will be certified under our standard 02.

For other European countries, the equivalence is available via an optional add-on known as “ADD-01 FSA Silver Europe”.

This add-on enables 2BS-certified players based in Europe to promote their products as “FSA 3.0 silver compliant”.

How to access the equivalence 

According to SAI guidelines, French-based 2BS-certified players can market their products as “FSA 3.0 silver compliant”.

  • If you opt in to this equivalence, you must inform your certification body before your next audit: verification of a separate mass balance for the products intended for the food market will be carried out during the next audit.

 

Players based in Europe (in countries other than France) must be audited according to the guideline ADD-01 during the next audit.

  • The existence of a separate mass balance for the production destined for the food market will be requested during the audit.

 

All traders holding a 2BS certification may market their products as ‘FSA 3.0 Silver compliant,’ provided that the purchased materials already meet the FSA 3.0 standard.

  • During the audit, verification of a separate mass balance for the portion of production intended for the food market, along with proof of compliance for incoming materials, will be required.
