Our pillars

1

Human Rights

All actors in the supply chain must respect and promote fundamental human rights in accordance with international standards, including but not limited to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and ILO conventions.

2

Community Impact

 Farming and production activities must contribute positively to the socio-economic wellbeing of local communities, ensuring inclusive growth and long-term sustainability.

3

 Respect for Natural Resources

 Sourcing practices must optimize the use of water, energy, and other natural resources with a deep respect for the balance of local ecosystems.

4

Public Safety

 All agricultural and production processes must adhere to high standards of public health and safety, ensuring that products are safe and that operations do not endanger local populations.

5

Honoring Pachamama

 Land use must reflect a sacred stewardship model, grounded in the philosophy that the Earth is not a commodity, but a living being deserving of care and reverence.

Our purpose

This certification guide outlines the standards and procedures for verifying ethical and sustainable practices among farmers, producers, and communities engaged in the sourcing of agricultural and natural goods. It aims to uplift actors who demonstrate integrity, social responsibility, environmental respect, and a deep spiritual and cultural bond with the land (Pachamama).

Designed for

For those who build a better future. Our certification recognizes and elevates individuals, companies, and projects that contribute to the supply chain while honoring the dignity of people, the integrity of ecosystems, and the ancestral respect for Mother Earth.

From small-scale producers to large-scale projects — our standard ensures that impact is not only measured in outputs, but in human and environmental harmony.
