Welcome!

The Collaborative Soy Initiative (CSI) is a collaborative framework with the vision of 100% conversion-free, sustainable soy production and market uptake, on a global scale. We are convinced that a mix of measures is needed to achieve this goal, including supply chain tools and supplier policies, legislation and landscape programmes. Mandatory and voluntary measures are both needed in combination to achieve scale and impact with conversion-free sustainable soy. The experience and tools of current voluntary soy sustainability initiatives and robust standards can support and supplement mandatory due diligence, and can have an increased effect if synergies are created among them. In return, strong legal frameworks and their compliance are important for voluntary initiatives to succeed and scale up.

The CSI informs stakeholders about ongoing actions and builds bridges among initiatives to attain genuine impact.
