ECOCERT

The international organisation (Organisme de Contrôle & de Certification) was founded in 1991 in France, co-founder and CEO of the company is William Vidal. At first, only farms working according to organic farming methods were inspected and certified.

Among other things, the company follows the IFS (International Featured Standards or Intermational Food Standard) rules.
