Our certifications

The Rainforest Alliance

Products with the Rainforest Alliance Certified™ seal are grown and harvested on farms and forests that follow sustainable practices. To become certified, farms must meet criteria of the Rainforest Alliance Sustainable Agriculture Standard. The Standard encompasses all three pillars of sustainability — social, economic, and environmental. Rainforest Alliance Certified™ farms are audited regularly to verify that farmers are complying with the Standard’s comprehensive requirements, which require continual improvement on the journey to a more sustainable future.

UTZ — part of The Rainforest Alliance

UTZ is a certification program for the sustainable farming of coffee, tea, cocoa and hazelnuts. UTZ certification shows consumers that products have been produced and sourced in a sustainable manner. To become certified, all UTZ suppliers have to follow their Code of Conduct, which offers expert guidance on better farming methods, working conditions and care for nature. The program is now part of the Rainforest Alliance.

Fairtrade

The FAIRTRADE Mark is an independent label for products that have been sourced from producers in developing countries that operate a fair deal for their workers and employees.

Products with the FAIRTRADE Mark must meet international Fairtrade standards set by the international certification body, Fairtrade International. These standards are designed to support the sustainable development of small producer organizations and agricultural workers in developing countries.
