LEAF Marque Standard v17.0 Public Consultation Survey |
Welcome to the LEAF Marque v17.0 Standard Public Consultation Survey
LEAF Marque is a leading global environmental assurance system recognising more sustainably farmed products. The LEAF Marque Standard is based on LEAF’s Integrated Farm Management (IFM) principles, and all LEAF Marque certified businesses are independently inspected.
The LEAF Marque Standard v17.0 Draft has been developed with input from multi-stakeholder working groups and focus groups, the LEAF Marque Technical Advisory Committee, multi-stakeholder feedback on the LEAF Marque Standard v16.1 and research conducted by LEAF.
This survey contains targeted questions on the changes made to the standard. We are particularly interested in your views on whether these changes are relevant, feasible, and auditable. We recommend you read the summary of changes before completing this survey.
