What we do
We set standards for primary production and the supply chain. From fruits and flowers to fish and feed, our portfolio is based on a robust third-party certification system that is developed in collaboration with sector stakeholders and strengthened by an innovative IT platform. Our holistic solutions and broader activities support the six key impact areas of food safety, environment, workers’ health, safety, and welfare, animal welfare, supply chain transparency, and capacity building.
