Tea Plantation
India is the largest producer and consumer of tea in the world. Tea constitutes an important part of Indian life it is a stimulating hot drink, a trade commodity, a major export item and provides daily income for more than one million permanent workers. Consumers want assurance that the tea they are buying is grown and manufactured under socially fair and good environmental conditions.
This has led tea-trading houses to push their suppliers to apply defined social standards in tea plantations and tea factories. By subscribing to the so-called Code of Conduct (CoC), planters and factory owners guarantee the observation of core labour standards on their premises. The wide range of slightly differing codes, however, renders compliance difficult, especially for those planters and factories that are selling to more than one buyer.
Tea Industry was more relying on ISO9001; ISO22001 standards till the last decade but globalization has taken the industry to the next level demanding quality, environmental, biodiversity and social standards by itself to make the tea producers of tea to comply to consumer requirements internationally.
ISO9001; ISO14001; FSSC-22000; Rain Forest Alliance; TrustTea and other social compliance standards demanded by the customer.
