ECOCERT's Founding Ethics

ECOCERT is a pioneering company founded in 1991 on strong ethical values, inherited from the agro-organic associative movement of the 1970s.

Organic farming is today seen as a global solution to the environmental crisis in its agricultural, food and non-food aspects. It respects water resources, soils and biodiversity, sustains yields over the long term, offers products rich in micronutrients and does not release toxic molecules. It is energy saving and produces fewer greenhouse-effect gases.

By building the support of players and consumers alike, ECOCERT has become a leading reference in organic certification around the world and certifies over 70% of producers in France.

The ECOCERT commitment has continued unfailingly since the very beginning. ECOCERT’s employees are men and women of conviction, who share that vision and its business has developed in consistency with those values.

ECOCERT head office is sited in innovative bioclimatic premises.

Respect for Man and the Environment

Social and environmental emergencies are inextricably interlinked nowadays. ECOCERT is fully aware of the seriousness of the issues involved and wishes to play a driving role in the introduction of projects that match up with those priorities.

A certification approach entails awareness processes and consumer, and therefore societal, choices, at a time when productivity models are beginning to show their limitations.

In pursuit of the same values, ECOCERT builds standards that enhance the value of NGO-implemented projects and sets up partnerships with caring organizations on the basis of social and environmental goals.

Organic Cosmetics

By means of the ECOLOGICAL AND ORGANIC COSMETICS standards, ECOCERT defines a requirement level that is superior to the conventional regulation governing cosmetics, thereby guaranteeing the genuine practice of environmental respect throughout the production line, respect for the consumer and the promotion of natural substances of a superior ecological quality.
