What are IndicAgro indicators?

A management tool for Farming Enterprises to help themintroduce Corporate Social Responsibility & Sustainability

(CSR&S) into their business strategies.

Why did we decide to move forwardwith this initiative?

In order to support and facilitate the adoption,measurement and management of sustainability

actions into the farming through an innovative tool, given the comprehensiveness and variety of its

dimensions. It is a tailor –made system, speciallydesigned for the agri activities

Self-Diagnostic Survey

Divided into 7 dimensions, according to the publicswho are watching the farm company:

Values: transparency and management

Decent work and employment practices

Sustainability of farming practices (Good agricultural practices)

Relationship with suppliers

Relationship with customers and other farmers

Relationship with local communities

Relationship with the Government and society

An online software (web platform) , which is a self-assess-ment tool making it possible to determine, measure and compare to what extent CSR&S has been introduced into each business dimension.

Number of indicators to be applied:

SmallOrganization

Basic level

Medium-sizedOrganization

LargeOrganization

Maximum of 50 indicators

We aimed to create a flexible tool in pursuit of making it easily adaptable to every organization, regardless of its size. Each company can apply the amount of indi-cators they consider more suited to their own reality.

For each indicator, there are four levels of fulfilment that are related to the development of the farming company practices. The first tier is the basic level and ensures compliance with the existing law, whereas the four stage represents the excellence and recognizes a true leadership in the practice of CSR&S. There are two fulfilment levels in between.

What do we mean by a “responsible andsustainability-oriented farming enterprise”?

ecosystem services, with a view to attainingcompetitiveness and its own business continuity without

compromising society’s sustainable development.
