Responsible soy production: Sustainability certifier updates accreditation requirements for supply chain transparency

The sustainability certifier Round Table Responsible Soy (RTRS) has updated its accreditation and certification requirements for responsible soy production (Version 4.2). The update is part of RTRS’s ongoing “commitment to continuous improvement,” and will increase mass balance volumes that will be available for the market, as stated by the organization. The new version makes it mandatory for all producers certified by the organization to include the scope of physical flow of sourced soy (soy sold through traditional sales channels) in the audit Chain of Custody Requirements for Producers by 2020.
