What guarantees does the Naturland label provide?
Naturland is not limited to organic certification. It embodies a comprehensive and demanding approach to agriculture, integrating environmental and social criteria. Find out more about the guarantees provided by the label here:
- A demanding organic certification: Naturland’s standards are stricter than the EU Organic Regulation (UE 2018/848).
- A strenghtened environmental commitment: active biodiversity protection and implementation of sustainable farming practices.
- Social responsibility is integrated: respect for human rights and fair working conditions in accordance with international standards are embedded in the standard.

How to obtain Naturland certification?
Certisys supports you throughout your Naturland certification process:
- Initially, you submit your certification application directly to Naturland.
- After initial information exchanges, a pre-assessment of your business will define the necessary steps to obtain your certification.

- Following the pre-assessment of your certification application, Naturland may appoint CERTISYS to conduct the on-site audit.
- Our auditors, specially trained and authorised by Naturland, carry out the on-site audit and prepare the inspection report.
