Organic Organic production Labelling Market impact
Organic production • Organic production: "a system of managing agricultural holdings that uses a variety of more environmentally friendly crop farming practices and involves major restrictions on the use of fertilisers and pesticides” Strict rules for production. Examples for agriculture: • Use of organic seeds • Soil fertility and biological activity through natural means • Use of substances on “positive lists” Examples processing: • Non-agricultural ingredients are limited (Annex VI) • GMOs not allowed • Irradiation not allowed
Labelling as “organic” Preconditions: • at least 95% of the product's ingredients have been organically produced; • the product complies with the rules of the official inspection scheme; • the product has come directly from the producer or preparer in a sealed package; • the product bears the name of the producer, and the name or code of the inspection body.
Organic labels • Many organic labels • Different requirements • Different markets • Different certifiers See document Overview of organic labels for food on the EU market
Organic cotton • Growing without synthetic chemicals • In some cases also organic production process • Taken up by big brands
Market impact • Growing niche market • For more information, see the CBI market surveys

Sainsbury’s Social Principles “As we broaden our supplier base, especially in developing countries, we are conscious of the need to take some share of the responsibility for social development and for the welfare of employees who produce the goods we sell.” “In building partnerships with our suppliers, we seek to work with companies who share our values and who are prepared to commit themselves to this Code.”
Sainsbury’s Social Principles Fair terms of trading In the conduct of its business, Sainsbury’s will deal openly and fairly with suppliers, adhere to contract terms and avoid the exercise of undue pressure. Protection of children In accordance with relevant ILO conventions, children may only be employed in circumstances which fully safeguard them from potential exploitation, which protect them from moral or physical hazard and long term damage to health and which do not disrupt their education.
Sainsbury’s Social Principles Health and safety Policies and procedures for health and safety will be established which are appropriate to the industry. In the absence of legal requirements these will reflect a clear awareness of obvious hazards and a general regard for the well-being of employees. Such policies and procedures will apply also to any living accommodation provided in association with employment.
Sainsbury’s Social Principles Equal opportunities Whilst being sensitive to cultural differences we expect the development of equal opportunities in employment without discrimination on grounds of race, religion, and gender or other arbitrary means. Freedom of association Employees shall be free to join lawful associations; forced labour or coercion at work is unacceptable.
Sainsbury’s Social Principles Freedom of employment Employees should not be forced into involuntary labour. Hours of work and wages Pay will not be lower than that required by local law or, in the absence of law, that paid generally within the industry. Wages should always be enough to meet basic needs and to provide some discretionary income, as well as having regard to what is needed to maintain family life above subsistence level.
Meeting buyers’ requirements Showing compliance Auditing and Management systems • BSCI • SA8000 • OHSAS 18001 • GLOBALGAP Codes and Labeling • Sector codes, corporate codes • Ethical Trading Initiative • Labels
Business Social Compliance Iniatiative • An auditing system, not a certificate • Background: adequate laws are in place - but not properly implemented and enforced • Lack of awareness • So far retailers conduct social compliance audits in their purchasing markets mainly on the basis of different audit systems and criteria • Too many different systems • More or less similar standards • Different tools • Different processes • Lack of credibility • Lack of transparency • Lack of efficiency • High costs • No synergies
Objectives Improve social standards in all supplier countries for all consumer goods Provide a predictable monitoring system Realise economic advantages for suppliers and members International forum for the exchange of knowledge and views Cooperation with any other equivalent system
