ABOUT

WSO is the only organization proposing two consumer friendly logos which can potentially certify sustainability for the whole food range (seafood and agro) as well as non food products and services. WSO delivers the certifications based on 30 years experience in the field, in full independence and by mean of audits of accredited certification bodies.

WSO’s activity is international in scope and multiproduct.

The requirements are strict, as proved by all benchmarks, but our price offer is very affordable and accessible to small scale and artisanal producers. All standards include Social Accountability, an always more important issue in food and non food production.

Our job does not end at certification and we network between sustainable companies and buyers promoting the certified products. companies support our conservation programs and leverage on their environmental engagement.
