The Donau Soja Association was founded in 2012 by Matthias Krön and is an international, non-profit organisation based in Vienna. Our goal is to promote the development of a sustainable and European protein supply.
The organisation supports soya bean cultivation in Europe, supported by the Donau Soja and Europe Soya brands. Through these brands, the sustainable production of non-GM soya is supported providing regional supplies of plant protein. The Donau Soja and the Europe Soya Standard and their Guidelines (Donau Soja; Europe Soya) are foundations of the business. It is possible to be certified in the organic sector following our two standards.
Our soya growers comply with EU plant protection regulations, EU labour and social standards (ILO), and additional requirements. Land-use change (e.g. deforestation) is directly impacted by using only land that was arable land before 1 January 2008.
