The members of ENSI are committed towards achieving:
100% of our countries’ soya consumption is produced according to the law and in a way that protects forests and valuable native vegetation (deforestation and conversion free).
By enabling the exchange of knowledge and good practices between NSIs, like-minded multi-stakeholder initiatives and knowledge partners, we believe that we can accelerate the uptake of non-deforestation and non-conversion soy.

Knowledge exchange between NSIs
Collective outreach to like-minded soy initiatives
Deep dive sessions on relevant and technical topics
Insights on European (soy) policy
Joint issues management on relevant developments in European markets
Connected to an extensive soy network
