How does the benchmarking process between 4C Association and Rainforest Alliance work?

Since the 4C Code of Conduct is a baseline standard, benchmarking with the Rainforest Alliance’s Sustainable Agriculture Network (SAN) standard is non-reciprocal. This means that holders of the Rainforest Alliance Certificate may apply for a 4C License without additional costs or verification procedures, whereas 4C License holders need to step up to SAN standards in order to obtain the Rainforest Alliance Certificate.
