Our mission

Acting for a sustainable world by supporting the transition towards fairer economic models that safeguard health, the climate, and biodiversity.

Working together for a sustainable world

The world is changing and so is the awareness of our impact on the planet. At this very moment, biodiversity preservation, climate change mitigation, equitable resource distribution, and environmental justice are major priorities for our society. Now more than ever, we are convinced of the need to improve our models and practices to meet this demand.

The challenge is daunting, but we are convinced that everyone has a role to play if we are to make positive change. For our part, we start with the path of certification. In seeking to promote sustainable models, we continue the principles advocated by organic farming. Through certification as well as training and consulting we help each client to analyze, strengthen and transform their practices.

We are proud to have become, on the strength of our deep convictions, a major player in organic farming. All of our services are aimed at promoting and propogating more environmentally and socially responsible practices throughout the world.
