What do we stand for? We strive to enable production processes that respect the environment, better management of available energy and of natural resources (water, air, soil fertility), socially responsible sectors, and better product quality and safety. All of these elements are essential to address today's economic, social and environmental challenges in order to build tomorrow's world.
The world is changing, and along with it, so is the awareness of the impact we have on the planet. At this very moment, the preservation of biodiversity, climate change mitigation, the equitable distribution of resources and respect for the environment are major challenges for our society. Now more than ever, we are convinced of the need to improve our models.
The challenge is daunting, but we are convinced that everyone has a role to play if we are to overcome the situation. In order to take part, we first chose the path of certification. In seeking to promote sustainable models, we follow on from the principles advocated by organic farming. Through certification, but also by means of training and consulting, we help each player to analyse, strengthen and transform its 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 disseminating more environmentally and socially responsible practices throughout the world."
Through not only our businesses but also our daily actions, Ecocert strive to be proactive in favour of the environment, in accordance with our convictions. Our commitments are long-term and, because it is always possible to do better, in a continuous improvement mindset.

Located in the region of Toulouse in the south of France, our flagship eco-building is the perfect symbol of our commitment. Built from natural and local materials like wood and straw, it also produces more eletric power than it consumes...in other words, our building has positive energy!

Since 1991, we have supported organisations that have a positive social and environmental impact. It is through certification, our core business, that we verify the compliance of a series of requirements defined in a standard.
In addition, in order to ensure that the practices we advocate are communicated and adopted by as many people as possible, we have developed new services: training and consulting.
