Verifying good practice
UEBT members pledge to ethically source. We assess their sourcing systems after which member companies develop work plans to further improve practices, both inside the company and in the places where raw materials from biodiversity are sourced. Verification is focused on learning and improving, and some companies also choose to step into certification. Certification validates that the requirements of the UEBT Ethical BioTrade Standard are met. UEBT offers certification of a company’s ethical sourcing systems or certification of specific ingredients.
