Two tiers of ofi’s sustainability management system AtSource – AtSourceV and AtSource+ – have been recognized as equivalent schemes against the Sustainability Farm Assessment FSA 3.0 from the SAI platform, obtaining the silver and gold equivalence levels, respectively, for its spices, cocoa, coffee, and nuts products. This achievement reiterates ofi’s commitment to sustainability and to customers in their journey towards meeting their commitments.

We are pleased to announce that AtSource+ and AtSourceV have been benchmarked as equivalent schemes against the Sustainable Agriculture Initiative (SAI) Platform’s Farm Sustainability Assessment scheme – FSA Version 3.0, obtaining the highest-level equivalence for the AtSource+ tier.

The SAI Platform’s Farm Sustainability Assessment FSA 3.0 provides a widely recognized framework to assess, improve, and validate on-farm sustainability in agricultural supply chains. 

Following the benchmarking results, the AtSource system has achieved: 

  • FSA Gold level equivalent for the AtSource+ tier, being the highest-level recognition and confirming best-in-class sustainable practices for farms in AtSource+ supply chains and their commitment to high environmental and social responsibility standards.
  • FSA Silver level equivalent for the AtSourceV tier, confirming farms are meeting a well-defined standard of responsible agricultural practices. This includes good environmental stewardship, respect for labor rights, and safe working conditions.

Joe Iveson, FSA Manager, Sustainable Agriculture Initiative Platform, said: “A huge congratulations to ofi for achieving FSA Silver Level Equivalence and FSA Gold Level Equivalence for their AtSourceV and AtSource+ programs. This is a significant milestone for AtSource, but one that is thoroughly deserved as ofi continues its efforts to create a sustainable agricultural sector globally. For farmers, the benchmark against a globally recognized framework like the Farm Sustainability Assessment (FSA) gives extra validity to their efforts, whilst also reducing the audit burden on them. For ofi’s customers and end consumers, the benchmark serves to showcase the company’s commitments and progress towards more sustainable value chains.”

Commenting on this equivalence, Katherin Ibarra, Sustainability Manager of AtSource at ofi, added: “We are very proud of receiving this recognition for AtSource. It underlines the effective engagement of all parties on the ground – our product teams, social and environmental experts, as well as the farming communities themselves to drive positive impact. This is achieved through implementation, measurement, and continuous improvement of our sustainability practices. This FSA equivalence is especially valuable for our customers helping them to meet their sustainable sourcing programs’ targets with measurable impact when purchasing AtSource products.”  

“Our engagement and continuous work with SAI Platform through FSA and other programs reflect our ambition to scaling up sustainability impact through partnership, working towards a harmonized industry approach on sustainable and resilient agricultural systems.”
