The standard applies to growers and their entire company, addressing key areas such as employee working conditions, health, and safety. It is built on universal human rights, the codes of conduct of local representative organisations, and international agreements of the International Labour Organisation (ILO).<br /> The MPS-SQ Standard also ensures fair treatment for family members working in family-run agricultural operations and sets minimum requirements for working conditions, encouraging compliance with stricter national, local, or international laws to provide the highest level of worker protection. By promoting ethical labour practices, My MPS aims to improve worker safety, health, and well-being while enhancing the image of the agricultural sector. </span><span>MPS is applying for SSCI’s Scope BI — Social Compliance: Primary Production, reaffirming its commitment to advancing sustainable and responsible practices across the agricultural supply chain.</span></p> </div> </div> </div>  </div>  </div>  </div>  </div>  <div class="modal modal--services modal--certification" style="display: none" id="59220"> <span class="modal__close close-overlay"></span>  <div class="modal__wrap"> <div class="modal__close close"> <img width="26" height="26" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%2026%2026'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-src="https://www.theconsumergoodsforum.com/wp-content/themes/consumer_goods_forum/assets/imgs/general-icons/close.svg"/><noscript><img width="26" height="26" src="https://www.theconsumergoodsforum.com/wp-content/themes/consumer_goods_forum/assets/imgs/general-icons/close.svg"/></noscript> </div> <div class="modal__wrap__inner "> <div class="container-fluid"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-md-4"> <div class="image-box"> <span data-bg="https://www.theconsumergoodsforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/2019-Rainforest-Alliance-logo-300x93.png" class="rocket-lazyload" style=""> </span> </div> <address> </address> <a href="https://www.rainforest-alliance.org/for-business/2020-certification-program/" target="_blank"> <div class="btn-blue"><span class="button-text">Website</span></div> </a> <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#3851565e57784a5916574a5f"> <div class="btn-blue"><span class="button-text">Email Address</span></div> </a> </div> <div class="col-md-7 col-md-offset-1"> <h2 class="title title--sm">Rainforest Alliance</h2> <div class="modal-scroll-box"> <p><span>The Rainforest Alliance Sustainable Agriculture Standard, is designed to deliver more value to the more than four million farmers and workers and thousands of businesses that use Rainforest Alliance certification to drive more sustainable agricultural production and responsible supply chains.
