Ecocert: commitment to a more responsible homecare industry

With the conviction of the impact of homecare products on health and the environment could be significantly improved, we have contributed to the development of more environmentally friendly products. In partnership with the main players in the sector, we have developed the first standard dedicated to natural detergents or "made with Organic", and to home fragrances and natural or organic candles.

Since then, our standards are regularly updated in partnership with our Scheme Committee, composed of stakeholders of the industry. Do not hesitate to participate in our open consultations during the updates of our standards by clicking here
