Certifications & Guarantees Systems
Certifications & Guarantees Systems
We are committed to empowering producers and ensuring the credibility of fair trade products through our comprehensive Certifications and Guarantee Systems. Through these systems, we connect producers to global markets, foster transparency, uphold ethical practices, and promote environmental sustainability.
WFTO Guarantee System
As a proud member of the World Fair Trade Organization (WFTO) since 2010, we demonstrate 100% commitment to Fair Trade principles in our supply chain. With over 457 member organizations and associates from 76 countries, our products directly support small producers and their communities in Lebanon. Every purchase made contributes to the well-being of farmers and strengthens fair trade practices worldwide.
TEQ Guarantee System
To make the international certification process simpler, we developed the TEQ guarantee system specifically for the Lebanese market. This system makes certification easier for Lebanese producers, especially those in marginalized rural areas. The TEQ guarantee also enhances the credibility of fair-trade products in Lebanon. TEQ Standards encompass transparency, ethics, and quality criteria, promoting human rights, workers’ integrity, and environmental sustainability.
FLOCERT Guarantee System
Since 2012, our partnership with Fair Trade International allows us to certify Lebanese products such as wine, olive oil, lentils, and more as Fair Trade. This certification ensures fair prices, good working conditions, and environmental responsibility. Earning the Fair Trade mark showcases our commitment to fairness, transparency, and environmental care.
Organic Certification
Our support extends to helping producers obtain organic certification from independent bodies. Certified Organic products follow strict standards, ensuring sustainable agricultural practices that prioritize health, ecology, fairness, and care. We assist farmers, processors, and traders in meeting the growing demand for organic products, enabling them to compete in international markets.
Capacity Building in Food Safety and Quality
We understand the significance of food safety and quality for international competitiveness. Our training programs cover essential topics such as Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), Good Hygiene Practices (GHP), Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP), and more. Through these programs, we equip producers with the knowledge and skills needed to meet international standards, empowering them to upscale their products and discover new export opportunities.
