The global juice supply chain faces pressing challenges, from labour rights and sustainable farming practices to traceability and environmental impact. The Sustainable Juice Covenant (SJC) unites producers, processors, traders, brands, and retailers in tackling these issues collaboratively.
This global initiative provides members with a robust framework to set and achieve sustainability goals while driving field-level projects that improve wages and working conditions, support smallholder farmers, and encourage responsible agrochemical management. Through collaborative action and sharing knowledge and resources, members are committed to making the sourcing, production and trade of fruit- and vegetable-derived juices, purees and their concentrate 100% sustainable by 2030.
Together with our partners, we’re working to measure environmental footprints, identify emission hotspots, create positive on-ground impact, and improve sector governance through collaboration in key juice-producing countries.
“Sustainability and more particularly sustainable sourcing is very important to us. We are part of SJC because it provides us with a clear roadmap. The annual report keeps us accountable and shows progress to our investors. We are pleased to see the sustainable juice volumes increase over the years.”
Beyond simply monitoring sourcing practices, we facilitate the exchange of ideas and learnings among partners and stimulate the implementation of pilot projects at farm level.
An international initiative of leading players in the juice sector aimed at improving the sustainability of juice supply chains worldwide.
