Ag Agenda

 Co

Cooperation with SAI AI Platform

 SAI Results in D, F, PL and BE  Applied Research as the basis

Our Our decision fo for SAI AI

 Südzucker joined SAI Platform in July 2015 during official

ceremony on EXPO

 Good reasons for partnering with SAI:

 SAI has excellent reputation amongst customers  SAI concept can be used for all arable crops of a farm  SAI with high competencies regarding “our” crops  Südzucker - a highly active member of SAI

Our Our decision fo for RE REDcert

 REDcert - founded in 2010 by leading associations and organizations in

the German agricultural and biofuel sector

 Approved as a certification system for the sustainability of biomass in

Germany since 2010, by the European Commission since 2012

 Certification system covers all of the steps involved in the process:

 production and collection of input materials  processing in factories  distribution to the customer

 Strong, robust standard with detailed regulatory framework  Benchmarked by SAI
