We would like to inform you that our organization is approved to provide assessment for the SPRING ADD-ON standard, an add-on to the GLOBALG.A.P. IFA and GLOBALG.A.P. CfP standards.

What is the SPRING ADD-ON? 

The SPRING ADD-ON (Sustainable Program for Irrigation and Groundwater Use) is an innovative standard designed to promote responsible water management in primary plant production processes. This standard helps producers, supply chain entities, and buyers demonstrate their commitment to more responsible water management on the farm.

Advantages of implementing the SPRING ADD-ON:

  • Responsible Water Management: The SPRING ADD-ON covers a wide range of topics such as water use, legal compliance, protection of water sources, and management of water basins.
  • Legal Compliance: It supports compliance with criteria related to land use, flow rates, stakeholders of water basins, and identification of water sources.
  • Global Recognition: The SPRING ADD-ON has been tested and trusted in over 35 countries worldwide and is recognized by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) Spain as one of the top water certification options at the farm level.
  • Ease of Implementation: It offers a cost-effective audit process for a wide range of farm sizes and types, including smallholders and producer groups.
  • Environmental Protection: It incorporates strict principles and criteria for the protection of water sources and the promotion of biodiversity.

How can you benefit? 

With the SPRING ADD-ON evaluation, your company will gain:

  • Increased reliability and trust from your customers as well as enhanced social responsibility of your organization.
  • Improved crop efficiency and reduced production costs as a result of rational water use.
  • Access to new markets and opportunities, as the SPRING Add-on is becoming increasingly demanded by major supermarket chains.
