When something is certified by Ecocert, it means the product has met the strict standards set for its specific category. Ecocert is an inspection and certification body established in France in 1991 by agronomists aware of the need to develop environmentally friendly agriculture and the importance of recognizing those committed to sustainable development in production.

Product categories open for certification include natural and organic cosmetics, natural and organic home perfumes, natural cleaning products, fair trade, ecological outdoor areas, organic textiles, eco-sustainable golf course, reforestation and solidarity, organic and ecological spa, ecological and recycled textiles, climate commitment and biodiversity commitment.

Now an international network dedicated to helping people and their environment, Ecocert is affiliated in 26 countries:

• Europe: France, Germany, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Spain, Switzerland and Turkey
• Africa: Burkina Faso, Madagascar, Morocco, South Africa and Tunisia
• Asia: China, India, Japan, Singapore and South Korea
• Americas: Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, Chile, Mexico, Peru, United States

Still very involved in promoting organic farming, Ecocert today works with French and international institutions in supporting project development. By winning the confidence of professionals and consumers, Ecocert has become a benchmark in organic certification worldwide.

In the EU, Ecocert is accredited by the Cofrac (French Accreditation Committee). In the USA, Ecocert is accredited by the USDA (US Department of Agriculture) for the National Organic Program (NOP) and in Japan, Ecocert is accredited by the MAFF (Agricultural Department) for the Japanese Agricultural Standard (JAS)

Companies voluntarily request Ecocert certification to prove:

• control and traceability throughout the supply chain.
• commitment to environmental protection.
• integrity of raw materials and ingredients.
• high standards within the specific industry, e.g., food and/or cosmetics.
