ERGO for Regenerative Organic Certified®
Satisfy Regenerative Organic Alliance’s Gold Level Social Fairness Requirements With an ERGO Certificate From EFI
The ERGO program by EFI provides a process for producers located in the Americas to fulfill the Regenerative Organic Alliance (ROA) social fairness requirement for Gold-level certification. Once audited and found to be in compliance with the ERGO Standards, EFI issues an ERGO certificate that can be presented to ROA for Gold-level consideration.
The ERGO Standards require the formation, training and ongoing functioning of a labor-management collaborative (LMC) team. The LMC allows management and workers to collaborate and share responsibility for complying with the ERGO Standards as well as contribute to the overall success of the operation. EFI provides training and support to establish the LMC and audits to the nearly 150 ERGO Standards.
The ERGO certification covers these areas:
- Labor-Management Collaboration
- Non-Retaliation
- Compliance With the Law
- Health & Safety
- Freedom of Association
- Fair Compensation
- Fair Working Conditions
- Non-Discrimination
- Dispute Settlement
- Employer-Provided Housing
- Clean Recruitment
- Safe Facilities
- Worker Knowledge of ERGO
