Recognizing and advancing beef sustainability

The Canadian Roundtable for Sustainable Beef (CRSB) is a collaborative space with a vision of sustainability progress, rooted in science, considering all aspects of Canadian beef production and beyond.

Our CRSB Certified program is an operation-level program that provides third party audited assurances about the production and processing of beef through certified supply chains in Canada.

The value of beef sustainability for generations to come

Beef sustainability is a journey of continuous improvement. It’s about producing beef in a socially responsible, environmentally sound and economically viable way, prioritizing the well-being of the planet, people and animals.

The CRSB Certified program’s standards serve as a checklist to recognize sustainable beef practices across the nation and build consumer confidence about how beef is raised in Canada, at all points in the supply chain.

Why does certification matter?

Ranchers and farmers across Canada have been taking care of their livestock and land for generations and are continually making improvements so that their kids will get to care for this land too.

CRSB Certified provides the assurances about how beef is raised in Canada and supports the dedicated farmers and ranchers who work tirelessly every day to do it responsibly. So that everyone can feel good about their choices.
