KRAV
KRAV is Sweden’s private label for organic food, with requirements that extend beyond standard EU organic regulations. It is designed for the entire food supply chain, from farms to retailers, wishing to access the Swedish organic market. Control Union Certifications provides annual audits and certification, facilitating access to this high-standard market for businesses committed to sustainability.
What is KRAV?
The KRAV certification signifies a more profound commitment to sustainability. Its organic standards are more stringent than EU regulations, particularly with thirty-seven specific rules for climate impact. The framework also incorporates enhanced animal welfare, support for greater biodiversity, and provisions for better working conditions. Achieving KRAV certification enables organisations to demonstrate compliance with the highest customer requirements in the Swedish market. Control Union offers efficient and cost-effective certification, with options for combined audits to save time and reduce expenses.
