The Canadian Roundtable for Sustainable Beef (CRSB) oversees the Certified Sustainable Beef Framework. The standards set out by the framework are aligned with the requirements of the VBP+ program, and are verified on-farm by third-party auditors.
When you get certified with VBP+, you automatically become certified with CRSB. As one of three certification bodies for CRSB, VBP+ can provide CRSB certification in the same audit when a producer seeks certification with VBP+. This means less time and effort for producers.
With CRSB certification, producers gain access to incentive programs such as Cargill’s implementation of the Certified Sustainable Beef Framework and the Sustainability Incentive Program.
