26 Cargill 2020 Annual Report
Grievance routing
Cargill maintains a Grievance Channel to report problems
related to our supply chain. We take immediate action to
investigate any arising concerns regarding conformity with
the company's Soy Policy using a transparent process.
We assure that any person can speak up when seeing
something they consider incorrect regarding our direct and
indirect suppliers and make it clear that we do not tolerate
retaliation for this initiative. In 2020, 83 complaints related to
soy were reported using our system and 89% of them were
not related to our operations or supply chain. Most of the
grievances refer to environmental issues, such as suppres-
sion of indigenous vegetation.
The value of certified soy
The growing European demand for certified soy inspired
Cargill to develop the 3S Program (Solutions for Sustainable
Supply), with the purpose of assisting Brazilian producers
interested in achieving the most stringent parameters of
agricultural practices adopted by importers. The technical
assistance offered by the 3S Program consists of a property
diagnostic process and elaborating an individual action plan.
Evaluated according to the European Feed Manufacturer's
Federation (Fefac) standards for sustainable soy, the proj-
ects are verified by an independent agency.
To obtain 3S certification, producers commit to growing
grains by observing five pillars:
• Sustainable land use and conversion of the area to agricul-
ture prior to 2008 (DCF)
•Good agricultural practices
• Relations with the community and respect to human rights
•Engagement with continuous improvement processes
• Measurement of GHG emissions
Cargill also acts with other certifications, such as the Round
Table on Responsible Soy (RTRS). To obtain this certifi-
cation, our factories, ports and warehouses in Brazil are
inspected, resulting in a transparent chain of custody. The
international forum for the sustainable transformation of the
soy chain, RTRS joins members from the agricultural and
financial markets as well as specialized NGOs.

progress by means of good practices in order to access
new markets, can obtain five types of certification in the

Oil with lineage
From supermarket shelves, consumers
can participate closely in the 3S Program
experience and evaluate the results. The
LizaⓇ Origens brand, by the traditional Liza
oil brand, is produced with soy having the 3S
certification, which means that the origin soy
chain has a responsible production, carried
out according to sustainability parameters.
Available in most retail chains, the brand
helps consumers learn further details of
what makes the difference when the origin of
the grains is known and what care must be
taken in their production (see more about the
sustainable initiatives of the brand on
page 55).
