Our criteria

In a global context, Switzerland is an insignificant soya producer and consumer. Nevertheless, Switzerland is considered a pioneer for more sustainable soya production. Swiss players such as Coop and WWF were the first to recognise the problems of the global soy boom and took action. Together, they launched the so-called "Basel Criteria" for sustainable soya cultivation in 2004.

Certified soy in accordance with Bio Suisse guidelines, Pro Terra Standard, RTRS Non GM Standard, CSA-GTP, Donau Soja Standard, Europa Soja Standard and ISCC PLUS Non-GMO are currently decisive for achieving the network's objectives. These are currently the leading standards of the soya network. Through the controls, the standards ensure compliance with the law. What these standards have in common is that they guarantee the most environmentally and socially responsible soya production possible.

Dans ses valeurs fondamentales, le Réseau suisse pour le soja définit ses exigences en matière de culture et d'achat de soja fourrager responsable (au-delà des normes).

Les acheteurs de soja, les négociants et les fabricants d'aliments pour animaux qui proposent du soja responsable conformément aux normes fondamentales obtiennent le statut de réseau. Le statut de réseau est attribué dans le cadre du concept de contrôle du réseau soja
