Introduction

ProTerra has developed a benchmarking of the ProTerra Standard V5 (PT V5) against the VIVE Sustainable Supply Programme version 4.0.

The results show that VIVE’s adherence to ProTerra is around 57%. Table 1 below presents a summary of alignment with the ProTerra Principles.

ProTerra Foundations embraces mutual recognition of sustainability standards and believes that synergies help reduce costs of standard implementation and certification while reducing audit burden. As such, Table 2 shows the full list of complementary requirements that are necessary to be further verified during a ProTerra audit of a VIVE certified operation.
