Return Reference Explanation
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1 FOUNDED IN 1987, THE RAINFOREST ALLIANCE'S MISSION IS TO CONSERVE BIODIVERSITY AND ENSURE SUSTAINABLE LIVELIHOODS BY TRANSFORMING LAND-USE PRACTICES, BUSINESS PRACTICES, AND CONSUMER BEHAVIOR. WE ENVISION A WORLD WHERE PEOPLE CAN THRIVE AND PROSPER IN HARMONY WITH THE LAND. THE CORE OF OUR APPROACH LIES IN LEVERAGING MARKET DEMAND FOR SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTS TO CONSERVE BIODIVERSITY AND ENHANCE LOCAL LIVELIHOODS. FROM LARGE MULTINATIONAL CORPORATIONS TO SMALL, COMMUNITY-BASED COOPERATIVES, WE INVOLVE PRODUCERS, BUSINESSES AND CONSUMERS ALL ALONG THE VALUE CHAIN IN EFFORTS TO BRING RESPONSIBLY PRODUCED GOODS AND SERVICES TO A GLOBAL MARKETPLACE IN WHICH THE DEMAND FOR SUSTAINABILITY IS GROWING STEADILY. SINCE OUR FIRST EFFORTS IN CENTRAL AMERICA OVER 30 YEARS AGO, THE RAINFOREST ALLIANCE HAS GROWN INTO A GLOBAL INNOVATOR OF MARKET-BASED SOLUTIONS FOR CONSERVATION AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, AND WE ARE CURRENTLY WORKING IN MORE THAN APPROXIMATELY 80 COUNTRIES. THE RAINFOREST ALLIANCE IS ACTIVE IN MULTIPLE SECTORS - INCLUDING FORESTRY, AGRICULTURE, TOURISM AND CARBON/CLIMATE - PROVIDING TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE AND CERTIFICATION SERVICES TO PRODUCERS, WHILE WORKING WITH BOTH LOCAL ENTERPRISES AND DOMESTIC AND INTERNATIONAL BUYERS TO INCREASE THE COMPETITIVENESS OF SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS. RAINFOREST ALLIANCE HOLDING, INC. WAS FORMED ON JANUARY 1, 2018 TO SERVE AS THE COMMON NON-PROFIT PARENT CORPORATION PROVIDING CENTRALIZED GOVERNANCE AND OVERSIGHT OVER 2 WHOLLY-OWNED NON-PROFIT ENTITIES: 1) RAINFOREST ALLIANCE, INC, A NEW YORK CORPORATION AND SECTION 501(C)(3) PUBLIC CHARITY AND 2) STICHTING RAINFOREST ALLIANCE, A TAX-EXEMPT DUTCH FOUNDATION.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A Landscapes and Communities The Rainforest Alliance ("RA") develops and implements long-term climate conservation and community development programs in a number of critically important tropical landscapes where commodity production threatens ecosystem health and the well-being of rural communities. We co-design these initiatives with our frontline community partners and focus on improving rural livelihoods through sustainable local economies. Elements of our landscape programs include: - training in land management best practices, including climate-smart agriculture and sustainable forestry - providing training opportunities to rural producers so they can diversify their income streams or add value to their products - opening access to sustainable financing through partnerships with lending institutions and helping rural producers improve their financial management skills - facilitating public-private partnerships that stimulate reliable, long-term market demand for more sustainably produced goods - connecting farmers and forest communities to new markets to expand selling opportunities - taking what is known as an "Integrated Landscape Management" approach, we work with rural communities to build dynamic landscape partnerships that unite all land users: farmers, forest enterprises, local leaders, companies, and governments. Together, we tackle complex and often interconnected challenges that are too big to be taken on alone-from climate change and deforestation to human rights and rural poverty. By involving a diverse range of stakeholders in our landscape management programs, we bring all land users together to discuss common interests and determine collective actions. Highlights and major accomplishments in 2021 included: - In 2021, the Rainforest Alliance had approximately 55 active projects with farmers and forest communities to improve livelihoods and protect nature. We continued to work with a diverse donor base to further evolve integrated landscape conservation and value chain development in the agriculture and forestry sectors in strategic working landscapes. Some of the largest donors were the Elysabeth Kleinhans, European Commission, Green Climate Fund, Global Environmental Facility, IKEA Foundation, One Tree Planted, USAID and World Bank. - In 2021, our total reach was bigger than ever before-25 ongoing integrated landscape management projects and programs, spanning 14+ million hectares worldwide - RA launched LandScale, our all-in-one assessment tool to generate landscape-level insights about sustainability. The tool, co-created with Verra and Conservation International, is designed to help big project developers-including companies and governments-to assess social and environmental risks, such as deforestation or land conflict. LandScale also allows users to then invest in, monitor, measure, and communicate their sustainability impacts on a systematic and massive scale. In 2021, we piloted our new LandScale tool in Lamas, northern San Martn, Peru building on farmer certification work out to a landscape level. In total, 19 pilots were launched by LandScale across five continents in 2021 with 16 million + hectares covered by LandScale pilots worldwide. - Across the Andean and Amazonian regions, RA worked closely with Indigenous communities to diversify local economies in ways that protect San Martn, Peru forests. In 2021, we expanded our work with the Kichwa people to 14 communities. Together, we helped build markets for responsibly harvested forest products, such as honey and natural latex. Our partnerships there also have a strong focus on women's entrepreneurship. In 2021, we ran business management and digital skills trainings for the members of Warmi Awadora, a small women-led Indigenous handicraft collective. Using methods rooted in their ancestral heritage, the women of Warmi Awadora produce and sell beautiful woven textiles from native cotton that has been grown in harmony with the forest. - In Latin America, nine forest communities in Guatemala's Maya Biosphere Reserve maintained a near-zero deforestation rate in the vast "working forest" concessions they have managed for almost 20 years. That rate was 20 times less than in other parts of the reserve. More than 100 forest businesses created 12,000 jobs, with many leadership positions for women and benefits fanning out to more than 45,000 people between 2013 and 2021. Furthermore, during the same period, these forest businesses generated $69.6M total sales. Poverty rates in the concessions are significantly lower than in other parts of Guatemala, making outmigration from the concession communities virtually unheard of. In recent years, the government granted 25-year extensions to all the concessions whose land contracts have come up for renewal. Despite the ongoing challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, in October 2021 two new concessions were created, adding 71,255 hectares to the 353,000 hectares already under community management. - RA has implemented measures to strengthen auditing and provide more support to certified farmers in West and Central Africa since 2019. As part of these efforts, we established a $5 million Africa Cocoa Fund (ACF) that helps farmers who need assistance in meeting our certification requirements. The first part of funding happened in 2021, with nearly $640,000 distributed among 8 projects that addressed issues such as child labor, income diversification, agroforestry and shade implementation. For one women-led cocoa cooperative in southern Cte d'Ivoire, those funds were used to understand and mitigate child labor risks through training, awareness-raising activities, and surveying local families. They also purchased 3,000 hens to increase family incomes for their members, addressing a root cause of child labor. - In the Western Highlands of Cameroon, we continued working closely with local communities and our frontline project partners to strengthen the economic and social rights of women and youth (particularly young women) in Mount Bamboutos through the promotion of community-based and environmentally sustainable landscape management. RA-CERT During Q4 2018, RA sold its RA-Cert program to Preferred By Nature (formerly known as NEPCon), an international non-profit organization that promotes and delivers sustainability certification services and has been working collaboratively on certification and other initiatives with RA since 1998. This sale represented a strategic shift in RA's operations. As part of the sale, RA was entitled to collect revenues each year of the 5-year sale term based on a percentage of applicable annual revenues. RA-Cert included certification, verification and validation activities in the areas of forestry, agriculture, and tourism. These services were focused on conserving biodiversity and ensuring sustainable livelihoods. Effective December 31, 2021, RA and Preferred By Nature agreed to terminate the agreement and all remaining liabilities were settled with a final payment made to RA in 2022.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4B Markets Transformation The Markets Transformation team works to influence corporate policies, behavior, practices and allocation of resources for the betterment of farmers and forest communities in service of Rainforest Alliance's mission. We work with more than 5,000 businesses and 4 million farmers and workers on certified farms in 70 countries to drive more sustainable agriculture and responsible supply chains. Highlights and major accomplishments in 2021 included: - Products bearing the Rainforest Alliance Certified seal or UTZ label are sold in over 175 countries. - In 2021 we continued the roll-out of our 2020 Sustainable Agriculture Standard-an evolved certification program based on the principles of shared responsibility and sustainability as a journey of continuous, data-informed improvement. Our 2020 Certification Program introduced new requirements for companies to invest in and reward more sustainable production. At the same time, our new program fully embraces the power of data-from detailed record-keeping systems to cutting-edge geospatial analysis. This means exciting new digital tools to help farmers implement more sustainable practices, clearer performance insights and risk analysis for companies, and more effective auditing processes to ensure transparency and accountability. Stakeholder outreach, collecting feedback and providing training to farmers and supply chain actors across all sectors was a significant part of our work. - Costa Rica's Finca Esmeralda became the first in the world to achieve Rainforest Alliance certification against our 2020 Sustainable Agriculture Standard. For Fyffes, one of the advantages of this pilot was the help and feedback received from the Rainforest Alliance staff in interpreting the requirements, setting them up for compliance with the standard. Since Finca Esmeralda is one of many Fyffes-operated farms around the world, their learnings from the pilot could likely be scaled up to impact farms throughout the banana industry. Simultaneously, their feedback helped the Rainforest Alliance understand the farm's specific challenges. This helps ensure our certification program is context-adaptable, and thus, more efficient and effective. - In 2021, as we transitioned to the new certification program, we expanded our Associated Trainers Network (ATN), a consortium of skilled local trainers who have undergone training from the Rainforest Alliance. More than 600 trainings were delivered across 36 countries by both ATN and our own staff, resulting in 11,000+ individuals trained in 2021. - RA joined forces with Nespresso to design a scorecard to guide farmers and companies as they progress toward their regenerative agriculture goals. The Rainforest Alliance spent months researching and testing the scorecard's components in two coffee-producing regions of Costa Rica. Then, in 2021, we further consulted with coffee experts from Brazil, Colombia, and other regions to ensure its applicability across the sector. - In 2021, 2.3 million metric tons of oranges were grown on Rainforest Alliance Certified farms for the orange juice market. In light of COVID-19 restrictions, the Rainforest Alliance team in Brazil trained certificate holders online, working with orange farmers, cooperatives, and orange juice companies to achieve certification under our program. Trainings covered topics like the protection of native forests and biodiversity, pest management, and water management. Particular attention was given to trainings on implementing our approach to workers' rights-including combating discrimination, improving working conditions, and working with farmers to pay farm workers a living wage. - In 2020 & 2021, we have supported the strengthening of 45 RA Certified farms and 52 non-certified banana farms in Ecuador and Guatemala through our Promotion of Best Social and Environmental Practices in the Banana Value Chain initiative. The outcomes included training for 2,400 women and youth on topics like disaster-risk preparedness, environmental education, improved home sanitation and waste management, gender equality, entrepreneurship, business-plan development, improved access to microfinance, and more. This initiative has indirectly benefited over 11,000 community members. - RA tested our assess-and-address approach to tackling child labor, forced labor, discrimination, and workplace violence and harassment, grievance mechanism, and gender requirements with coffee partners in Ethiopia, tea partners in Malawi, and cocoa groups in Ghana. - Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, our regional teams have worked hard to support our partner farming communities facing severe health and economic hardships. With the help of our wider alliance and the generosity of our donors, we aided local relief efforts across India and Sri Lanka-distributing personal protective equipment (PPE) and life-saving medical supplies to over 30,000 farmers and frontline workers in more than 55 hospitals and clinics. - Our annual Follow the Frog campaign highlights everyday actions-like buying products with our green frog seal-that can make a positive difference for people and nature. Some of the results of the 2021 campaign: - 94 collaborating company partners in 29 countries - 16M people reached via influencer, social media, participating companies and RA channels - 29 influencers from 5 countries - RA joined the Global Landscapes Forum (GLF) Climate Hybrid Conference to discuss community forestry's contribution to climate resilience and mitigation in the tropics, and stakeholders' role in supporting and scaling them up. The session was well-attended and viewed over 1,000 times online. We also launched the Forest Allies Community of Practice (CoP) an opportunity for companies to positively affect within and beyond their supply chains. The launch was well-received by the hundreds who joined. - In 2021, we launched a brand awareness campaign, Let's Grow Together. Our goal was to show that change is possible-and anybody can start their sustainability journey through simple, actionable everyday choices at home. We reached 21 million people across the United States, United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Germany.
