ROC™ – Regenerative Organic Certified
Regenerative Organic Certified® (ROC) is a standard for ingredients and products designed for businesses seeking to adopt regenerative practices. It is intended for farms, processors, brands, and retailers across the food, textile, and personal care sectors. As a key partner, Control Union provides the necessary support for organisations to navigate the requirements and achieve certification, meeting increasing market demands for sustainability.
What is ROC™?
The Regenerative Organic Certified® standard is essential for organisations aiming to market products with the ROC label. The pathway to compliance is tailored to a business’s specific role, offering options for certification for growers and processors, as well as licensing for brands and private-label retailers.

Demeter
Demeter represents a modern, future-oriented approach to agriculture that goes significantly beyond organic standards. Where organic principles focus on omitting synthetic aids, the vision for Demeter is to actively strengthen the life forces within crops and animals. This is achieved through the principles of biodynamic agriculture, which treats the farm as a single, living organism. This system is built on circularity, aiming for a self-sustaining operation with minimal external inputs. Certification demonstrates a commitment to these high standards, which are increasingly demanded by consumers.
