Applicable law analysis for India

The Rainforest Alliance is creating a more sustainable world by using social and market forces to protect nature and improve the lives of farmers and forest communities. The Rainforest Alliance Sustainable Agriculture Standard, along with its assurance and technology systems, are designed to deliver more value to the two million farmers and thousands of businesses that use Rainforest Alliance certification to drive more sustainable agricultural production and responsible supply chains.

**A. Background**:
In July 2020 Rainforest Alliance has released its new Certification Program with a complete set of new documents to increase the sustainability of agriculture and livelihoods all over the world. The Rainforest Alliance (RA) 2020 Certification Program defines our long-term vision for the future, and the path required to get us there.

After 02 years of implementation, we have just published version 1.3 of the Rainforest Alliance Sustainable Agriculture Standard in February 2023, which consists of the farm requirements and the supply chain requirements. Considering the feedback from farmers and other stakeholders, we have made adaptations in the standard for easier implementation and clarified and shortened requirements.

To strengthen our assurance monitoring activities and maintain relevance respect for local regulations, Rainforest Alliance is looking for a professional or a company to conduct an analysis of the local regulations which are relevant to the RA 2020 Sustainable Agriculture Standard requirements.

Certification Bodies authorized for RA Standard 2020 will provide a law analysis of the countries within their scope. Theses analyses will be shared as input for this assignment.

**B. Objectives**:
1. Provide contextualization of the RA 2020 Sustainable Agriculture Standard requirements in comparison with the local applicable law enforcement systems in India.

**C. Tasks**:
1. Based on the farm and supply chain requirements, also observing the relevant Assurance documents, identify and relate all relevant requirements of the RA Standard 2020 to the applicable local laws, regulations, ordinances and other legal instruments in India.

2. Indicate, for each core requirement which is related to any of the legal requirements/documents being effective in India, whether the law or RA’s requirement is stricter. This should also be complemented by providing practical examples of what implications the law has on the auditing process of the RA 2020 standard.

3. Prepare a 2-hour webinar to approved Certification Bodies (CBs) in India to present the highlights of the analysis. This should be done in coordination with the Rainforest Alliance’s team responsible for ensuring the message being delivered is correct.

**D. Deliverables**:

- 1._ _Excel worksheet with 07 columns respectively describing:

- Requirement number as listed in the RA 2020 Sustainable Agriculture Standard
- The code of the applicable law and number of relevant article/clauses
- Link to the referred law (from official website)
- Reason why such law is applicable.
- Interpretation when the law applies and not the RA Standard 2020 requirement and why
- Indication when the law is stricter than the RA Standard 2020 requirement and why
- Indication when the requirements of the RA Standard 2020 won’t be applicable in the context of India and why
- Implication for the auditing process of such requirement(s).
- A format of the excel worksheet will be provided by Rainforest Alliance._

2. A PowerPoint presentation for a 2h webinar explaining the highlights of the analysis, critical requirements which the local law is stricter and links to the relevant laws.
- A PPT template of the presentation will be provided by Rainforest Alliance._

**E. Requirements**:

- Organization, company or individual with at least 6 years of experience implementing and/or auditing the Rainforest Alliance Standard in the context of India; or similar years of experience in legal advisory focused in the agriculture sector in India.
