YAOUNDÉ —
L'octroi d'une certification de durabilité à une multinationale opérant au Cameroun suscite un tollé au sein de certains groupes autochtones qui affirment que le géant de l'agroalimentaire n'a pas investi dans leurs communautés.
Les conclusions de l’audit environnemental et social de la Société Africaine Forestière et Agricole du Cameroun (Safacam), l’une des plus anciennes agro-industries installées dans le pays, ne font pas l’unanimité. En effet, la société a reçu une certification RSPO par un organisme indépendant basé aux États-Unis, SCS Global Services.

SCS Global Services launches a new environmental certification, prompting supply chains to reduce waste. The Zero Waste Standard is a third-party certification that allows companies to exhibit how it prevents or reuses waste streams and any other way it diverts waste from landfills. The certification program also allows companies to show how they've made improvements as well as support others in the region on doing the same.
As companies look to improve their ESG ratings and strengthen their corporate messages and investment profiles, this third-party certification will provide assurance year-after-year for corporations and their individual facility sites.

EMERYVILLE, Calif., May 3, 2021 /3BL Media/ - SCS Global Services (SCS), a global leader in third-party sustainability and climate certification, congratulates the UN Fashion Industry Charter for Climate Action (FICCA) for publication last week of its groundbreaking report outlining the processes that contribute to low carbon sources of cotton and polyester. SCS served as the neutral technical lead for the FICCA Raw Material Working Group, which authored the report. The Working Group engaged industry experts and textile and apparel organizations to complete the comprehensive study.
Polyester and cotton are the two primary fibers used in the textile industry, constituting 52% and 23% respectively of the total fiber volume produced globally. This report highlights the production changes that would be needed to align with the goals of the Paris Climate Change Agreement and move towards net-zero emissions by 2050.

Shake Shack recently announced the introduction of sustainable AirCarbon cutlery and straws from Restore Foodware at select Shake Shack locations in the US. The straws and cutlery will be available across all guest ordering services including walk-up window, drive-up window, curbside pickup, in-Shack pickup shelves, and delivery.
Shake Shack is introducing AirCarbon cutlery and straws at select locations by joining forces with Restore Foodware. The company launched the world’s first natural and regenerative foodware made from AirCarbon in late 2020, a biomaterial certified carbon-negative by SCS Global Services and Carbon Trust, showing it reduces the amount of carbon in the air through production. As a natural material, AirCarbon contains no synthetic plastics, PLA or synthetic glues, requires no food crops for production and is home compostable, soil degradable, and ocean-friendly, degrading naturally if it ends up in the environment. Shake Shack locations in West Hollywood and Long Beach in California, Madison Square Park and West Village in New York, and Miami Beach in Florida will pilot the AirCarbon cutlery and straws, along with a new Shake Shack location in Santa Monica when it opens this spring.
