Rainforest Alliance
Certifies farms, cooperatives and companies under its Sustainable Agriculture Standard (the frog seal), which international coffee and cocoa buyers ask for, and takes Amazonian biobusinesses to business roundtables with buyers.

Mapping classification: Certifies cooperatives and companies under its Sustainable Agriculture Standard, with audits by certification bodies such as IMOcert Latinoamérica; almost half of exported cocoa already holds it. Certification requires meeting the standard and paying for the audit, although sources give no amounts; the business roundtables of the UK PACT project have no open call. Hence high complexity and partly free.
