Services
Certification across the vegan supply chain and plant‑only farming, delivered by experienced auditors and a focused technical team.
Certification mark
Certified organizations receive digital files of the mark for packaging, websites and signage. We provide usage guidance so your claim remains clear, consistent and compliant with consumer protection law.
How certification works
- Apply
Send your details and product list (or farm plan); we confirm scope and fees. - Document review
We review specifications, supplier approvals and controls for readiness. - On‑site audit
An auditor verifies implementation—intake, storage, production/fields, cleaning, labelling and release. - Close‑out
You address any non‑conformities; we verify corrective actions. - Decision
An independent decision maker reviews the file and issues your certificate or explains why not.
We maintain impartiality and do not provide consultancy to certified clients.
Primary production (plant‑only farming)
- No animal‑derived inputs (e.g., manures, slaughter by‑products, fish emulsions); fertility via rotations, green manures, plant composts and permitted minerals.
- Contamination controls for neighbouring land, stored inputs and irrigation water.
- Seed/planting‑stock origin checks and traceability.
Food & drink
- Formulation review against vegan criteria; prohibited examples include honey, beeswax, shellac, isinglass, gelatin.
- Supplier verification and change control for high‑risk inputs (e.g., glycerine, mono‑/diglycerides, L‑cysteine, vitamin D).
- Cross‑contact prevention and allergen controls on shared lines.
Cosmetics & personal care

Household & cleaning
- No animal‑derived substances; verification for surfactants and auxiliaries.
