Although social compliance applies basically to any industry and labor area, there are elements intrinsically different to particular conditions of the working environment, like special health and safety concerns and social issues attached to the nature of the occupation. These elements are particularly noticeable in agricultural environments where workers typically belong to the lowest paid groups and have additional problems like migratory cycles, daily contact with toxic products, low levels of education and often no access to community services often available on urban environment.

ALGI recognize all these unique needs and has an specialized program to address social, health and safety concerns of agricultural environments. Our team of experts includes specialists on the safe handling of pesticides, the use of low toxicity products, Integral Pest Management, biological controls and anthropological and social matters related to rural workers. These elements have been skillfully incorporated into our traditional Social Compliance Program, to serve large and small farms, plantations or agricultural/industrial complexes. Our experice includes work with banana plantations, coffee growers, flowers under greenhouse conditions and a number of tropical crops.
