Learn about our history
1980
a group of pioneers with a passion for the land, aware of the need to protect the soil and biodiversity, started the organic farming movement. No organic specifications existed at the time. Everything had to be put in place! These organic pioneers helped draft European regulations and national private specifications.
1991
The European Organic Regulation was established. Blaise Hommelen created the company ‘ECOCERT BELGIUM’ to take up the challenge of reliable and credible audits and certification of organic agriculture and to enable businesses to get the best out of their products.
2000
ECOCERT BELGIUM obtained approval for audits and certification in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. At that time, the company monitored over 700 companies.
2007
ECOCERT BELGIUM changed its name to CERTISYS®. The company employed 24 people. An auditing system based on risk analysis was developed to better target audits in the field.
2021
CERTISYS® strengthens its position as the market leader of organic certification in Belgium and accelerates its development in the Benelux region by joining the ECOCERT Group.
