The Rainforest Alliance works with people whose livelihoods depend on the land, helping them transform the way they grow food, harvest wood and host travelers. From large multinational corporations to small, community-based cooperatives, we involve businesses and consumers worldwide in our efforts to bring responsibly produced goods and services to a global marketplace where the demand for sustainability is growing steadily.
We promote standards for sustainability that conserve wildlife and wildlands and ensure the well-being of workers and their communities. Farm and forestry businesses that abide by strict social, environmental and economic standards for sustainability earn the Rainforest Alliance Certified™ seal of approval, which appears on coffee, tea, paper, fruit and an assortment of wood products. Similarly, hotels, lodges and other travel businesses that work with the Rainforest Alliance learn practical ways to conserve water, recycle waste, minimize energy use and ensure that local people benefit from tourist dollars.
