You can report the actions of an organisation who has been approved as a Bonsucro member and is now applying for its sugarcane mill, farm, and/or processing/trading/purchasing site to become certified to Bonsucro standards.

• • • 
      Contact the Bonsucro Member via their own Grievance Mechanism

      Please note:

      • • • • All organisations approved to be a Bonsucro member must have a Grievance Mechanism and/or work with an external grievance mechanism as per as per Bonsucro Code of Conduct Implementation Guidelines (Roles and Responsibilities > 3. Commit & Act > Respect for Human Rights > J.)
            • All organisations applying for certification to Bonsucro Production Standard must have a Grievance Mechanism (indicator 5.8.1)
            • Therefore, your first point of call (when possible) should be to raise the allegation / complaint via this organisation’s own Grievance Mechanism.
  • • 
      Contact the Certification Body or Bonsucro (prior to the audit)

      Please note:

      • • Either contact the Certification Body directly with your allegation/complaint about this sugarcane mill, farmer, processor, buyer.
