About Arden Al Certification Charity
We are a UK charity dedicated to credible vegan certification—clear definitions, evidence‑based controls, and disciplined decisions.
Charitable purpose
We operate for public benefit by improving the clarity and reliability of vegan claims. Our fees are set on a cost‑recovery basis; any surplus is reinvested in our charitable objects, including public education and accessibility concessions.
Certification decisions are independent of commercial considerations. We do not provide consultancy to certified clients, and we separate audit and decision functions to manage impartiality.
Governance
- Board of Trustees overseeing strategy, impartiality and risk
- Impartiality Committee with stakeholder representation
- Appeals & Complaints panels independent of audit teams
We’re recruiting Trustees
Bring your expertise (governance, law, finance, certification, agriculture, retail, digital, lived experience as a micro‑producer) to our board.
