Certifications

The proof to your promise

    More than a certifier,
    Control Union is your partner

    Certification is important. It builds trust within supply chains and towards the end consumer. It gives everyone certainty that what they buy, consume or use is good. But at the same time, certification can be overwhelming. The number of certification programs is growing, and the requirements are sometimes quite complex. That is why a reliable certification partner is important. 

    Control Union Certifications offers both tailor-made and ready-made certification programs for the sustainable production, transport, storage and trade of products and processes in many sectors. As an impartial partner, we guide you through every step of the certification process and guarantee independent audits. As your certification partner, we are constantly looking for ways to support your organisation in obtaining and maintaining certifications.

    Looking for a specific program such as GlobalG.A.P, GOTS, FFSC 22000, VCA, ISCC, GSTC, Bonsucro or one of our many other programs?
