The standards emphasize performance-based benchmarks over prescriptive methods, requiring tools like Biodiversity-inclusive Environmental Impact Assessments (BEIA) and participatory Social Impact Assessments (p-SIA). Key environmental targets include the prohibition of farms in protected areas, a requirement to reforest 50% of affected mangrove areas for farms sited before May 1999, and strict limits on nitrogen and phosphorus effluent. Social standards align with ILO core principles, mandating a minimum employee age of 15 and fair wages based on national minimums or 50% of median country income.
