Responsible Commodities Facility – Deforestation and Conversion Free: Finance for soy production in the Cerrado, Brazil (RCF-DCF Project)

The Gender and Social Inclusion Plan for the RCF-DCF Project in Brazil's Cerrado region aims to integrate a gender lens into soy production investment strategies. The plan sets targets to ensure 50% of investee farms have at least one female owner and 100% of contracts require compliance with Brazilian legislation on gender equality and Sexual Exploitation, Abuse, and Harassment (SEAH). It also details awareness-raising activities, including 10 farmer field days and the creation of educational materials, to promote gender equality and women's leadership in agribusiness.

• The project aims to increase the representation of women in soy production by targeting a portfolio where 50% of farming groups have at least one female owner.
• The project mandates that 100% of contracts with farmers include clauses requiring compliance with the project's SEAH policy and specific Brazilian legislation regarding gender equality (CLT Articles 461 and 392 – 400) and SEAH (CLT Article 389 and NR-24).
• To promote an egalitarian culture in agribusiness, the plan targets five collaborations with gender equality initiatives in Brazil, the production of 24 educational communications (two per year), and the delivery of 10 farmer field days for 150 participants.
• The project will establish four SEAH reporting channels and require 100% of financed farms to display SEAH communication posters.
