Sustainable Agricultural Supply Chains
If we are to meet the challenges of an expanding population, coupled with imminent global warming consequences, the food and farming industries must adapt and innovate. RSK, primarily ADAS, is the UKโs largest independent provider of environmental consultancy, rural development services and policy advice. We offer a range of measurement, analysis, strategy and communication services. Our work spans from company strategy through to on-farm mitigation; we support companies in developing science-based targets and supplier engagement strategies. We can also work with farmers to measure emissions and mitigate the effects of climate change.
Unique insights to power innovation
We support our customers to deliver solutions for sustainable agricultural supply chains. Our agricultural background means we are equally at home meeting face-to-face with farmers as we are engaging with senior management in global food and drink businesses. This gives us the unique ability to work across all stages of the supply chain, and with more than 75 yearsโ experience of informing our strategies, our clients can rest assured that we understand their unique needs and have a bespoke solution to answer their concerns.
Our sustainability services
We offer a range of measurement, analysis, strategy and communication services. Specifically, through ADAS, we offer solutions for sustainable agricultural supply chains. This means we make full use of our world-leading agricultural and environmental technical experts to provide knowledge and support. We measure and monitor to collect information about a supply chain, develop sustainability strategies to meet business needs and communicate accurately in non-technical language to all stakeholders.
Implementing the right strategy for you
Our experts use evidence-based research to help clients solve their most significant challenges. This can be avoiding mishaps in the value chain and reputational damage or remaining up-to-date on the latest responsible practices. Our multidisciplinary team has a strong practical understanding of agricultural production, combined with expertise in a host of sustainability challenges where we can offer a service. This enables us to bring clarity and expertise that you can trust.
Length and breadth of sustainability services
RSK is adept at measuring and monitoring to collect information about a supply chain. We will collect qualitative and quantitative data to help you understand your agricultural value chain. By establishing where the key issues are, we can identify areas for improvement. There is a wide range of stakeholders in a supply chain from farmers through to the consumers. Our marketing specialists are well placed to support you in communicating sustainability messages effectively to all parts of your supply chain, including best practice production approaches to farmers, clarifying sustainability issues to consumers and creating understanding in your organisation. We can also help you to create and update your sustainability strategies, so they meet current and future business challenges. This will also help you identify future business opportunities.
Engaging group-wide strengths
RSK makes full use of its world-leading agricultural and environmental technical experts to provide knowledge and support. This makes us ideally placed to provide bespoke solutions, supported by evidence-based research, to help clients address some of the most pressing challenges facing their business.
