Careers
Founded in 2003, FLOCERT is a leading certifier offering verification services to Fairtrade organisations globally. We’ve supported the phenomenal growth of Fairtrade, a movement that has positively impacted millions of people across the world for over a decade. We work with all organisations that are committed to operating sustainably, to increase fairness in global trade.
We were set up as a subsidiary of Fairtrade International to act independently of the standard-setting side of the organisation, ensuring the quality and credibility of the Fairtrade certification system. With broad expertise in analysing global supply chains built on a long history in Fairtrade, we've become a one-stop shop for assurance services.
Fair is more than a label
Today, more and more international consumers are choosing fair products every day. But the success of a business isn't just reflected in certificates and labels. It hinges on everyday practices that we’re here to verify with our verification services. Business integrity is a precious asset, and we help protect it. We‘re able to verify your company's performance against multiple ethical standards, including Fairtrade; tailor assurance solutions to your company's needs; ensure product integrity; track payments; and verify sustainable investments.
Our global network of customers and partners is made up of over 1.9 million small farmers and workers in developing and emerging countries, as well as many traders and brands. Our headquarters in Bonn, Germany, give us direct access to all European markets. We also have regional offices in Costa Rica, India, South Africa and the United States, allowing for both global reach and local presence.
