Our team has supported sugar industry initiatives worldwide in its response to substantial pressures by non–governmental organizations, U.N. agencies and, increasingly, the market, to accelerate the incorporation of sustainable business practices.

Using the benchmark of internationally accepted labor and environment standards, our team is able to assist companies in their efforts to reach beyond existing practices and develop strategies toward compliance with the emerging voluntary norms national standards and international best practices.

We have advised companies that have opted to improve their labor practices and those whom have found it more cost–effective to mechanize their operations. We assisted with the social impacts tied to mechanization and how to best ameliorate the human cost.
