About our Organisation

Soil Association Certification Ltd exists to accelerate the just transition across
food, farming and land use, as a global leader in sustainability certification. We deliver
trusted solutions with nature, for people and planet through the certification of high
integrity holistic standards. These assurance schemes cover a wide range of sectors including
food, forestry, farming, landscape restoration carbon markets, beauty and
wellbeing, textiles and catering.

We are recognised and trusted by consumers and businesses around the world, operating in over
60 countries delivering FSC and PEFC certification, and you will also find the Soil Association
organic symbol on over 70% of organic products in the UK.

Soil Association Certification is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Soil Association, formed in
1946, which is the only UK charity which works across the spectrum of human health, the
environment and animal welfare. That’s because we cannot tackle these issues in isolation.

We campaign for change, we support farming innovation, we serve healthy food in communities, we
support and grow the organic market, and we protect forests. We couldn’t do any of this without
our supporters, partners, donors and dedicated staff. We make a difference in the world
where it’s needed the most.
