MAKING A DIFFERENCE
"More than ever before, consumers want assurance that they are buying products from companies that treat employees fairly. SAFE certification is a way for farm employers to demonstrate that they are doing the right thing ... and taking steps to ensure a positive environment for farm workers."

SAFE certification signifies that a producer has complied with all applicable laws and regulations governing employment in the jurisdiction in which the company operates.

Producers who earn the SAFE seal have demonstrated that they foster a work environment for their employees that is free of hazard, intimidation, violence and harassment.

Growers who are SAFE certified have demonstrated they comply with strict standards outlined in the organization's Farm Labor Employer Code of Conduct. The code covers general employment practices and specific issues such as forced labor, child labor, discrimination, wages and benefits, employment records, workplace safety and housing
