Advisory board

Membership of the SAAB comprises individuals from research institutes in the voluntary sector and academia. Members are selected for their individual quality, rather than to represent their organisations.

SAAB's role encompasses a number of key functions. Members advise on the overall approach of the sustainable agriculture initiative, including aspects of primary production processes, land use, supply chain management and consumer interests. They advise on sustainable standards for Unilever's selected key crops, as well as how to make sure those standards are acceptable to stakeholders. SAAB's other main function is to establish links with other bodies working in the sustainability field, on agricultural research, water management or biodiversity for example.
