Certification guarantees sustainability
To the highest standards
At naturesse, socio-ethical guidelines and ecological standards are paramount. We are conscious of our responsibility towards people, the environment and you, our customers. This is the reason why we have the most important sustainability labels and certificates. And we dedicate ourselves daily to pursuing a caring approach to Nature, food safety and fair working conditions:
Our entire climate-friendly product range is certified to DIN EN 13432 and can be composted without any residues. In the area of food safety, we are certified to recognised industry standards and provide for safety in the areas of food-grade approvals, foodstuffs law and food packaging. All our suppliers guarantee socio-ethical and ecological procurement practices in compliance with applicable conventions of the International Labour Organisation. Preference is given to suppliers with other sustainability certificates such as Sedex and SA 8000. We comply strictly with laws, regulations, codes of conduct and industrial standards, such as labour law, fiscal legislation, European and international law and the core UN conventions.
