This week, USSEC hosts representatives from 62 countries in San Francisco, Calif., for Soy Connext, the Global U.S. Soy Summit. Having developed one of the first sustainability verification schemes, known as the U.S. Soy Sustainability Assurance Protocol (SSAP), USSEC has been at the forefront of sustainability conversations around the world. Last week, USSEC announced that international customers of U.S. Soy can now request the inclusion of their soy purchase’s carbon footprint on their SSAP certificate. “We see more and more customers of U.S. Soy requesting to license the SUSS label,” Leeck said. “USSEC’s teams are encouraging international soy customers to look beyond the status quo,” Sutter said.
