The Round Table on Responsible Soy (“RTRS”) is an international forum to discuss the sustainability of soy. Participants include institutions from the sectors and countries related to the soy production and trading chain, as well as producers, exporters, agroindustry, financial institutions and several social and environmental NGOs.

The RTRS's objective is to build a global and participative process to develop and promote principles and criteria for soy production that is economically feasible, environmentally correct and socially just. In addition, the RTRS plans to act as a recognized international forum to accompany soy production in terms of sustainability.

ABIOVE took part in the RTRS launch in March 2005, in Foz do Iguaçu (PR), as well as in the organization's Technical Workshop, in Sao Paulo (SP), in April 2006. It also participated in the RTRS's second meeting in Assuncion, Paraguay, in August 2006. In November 2006 the RTRS was formally brought into existence during the Constitutional Assembly in Rolle, Switzerland. ABIOVE has been a member of the RTRS Organizational Committee since February 2006.
