ECOCERT

The international organisation (Organisme de Contrôle & de Certification) was founded in France in 1991. It was co-founded by William Vidal, who managed the organisation until 2024, when his son Jérémie Vidal took over. Initially, only farms that worked according to organic farming methods were inspected and certified. Later, other certification areas were added, including natural and organic cosmetics, organic textiles, organic detergents and cleaning products, forest and wood products, operating resources, fair trade products and recycled materials. Ecocert works with recognised, strict standards for each area.
