Director of Sustainability at the U.S. Soybean Export Council Abby Rinne on how the U.S. Soy Sustainability Assurance Protocol aids auditable ESG reporting
As sustainability commitments come under increasing scrutiny and companies around the world move from ambition to action, accountability hinges on credible, verifiable data.
As one of the few plant foods that provides all nine essential amino acids, soy is one of the most important crops in the world. Though you may not think you consume much of it, around four fifths of soy produced is fed to livestock, and it is also widely used in cosmetics, soaps as well as cooking oil and dairy alternatives.
In North America, the U.S. Soy Sustainability Assurance Protocol (SSAP) is established as a benchmark framework that offers a nationally scaled, audited system that translates on-farm practices into measurable ESG outcomes.
As Director of Sustainability at the U.S. Soybean Export Council (USSEC), Abby Rinne helps international customers understand, verify and communicate the sustainability of US Soy, while also helping them use that information to support their sustainability goals, customer commitments and business needs.
She shares her insights with Sustainability Magazine.
