UTZ Certified

UTZ Certified stands for sustainable farming and better opportunities for farmers, their families and our planet. The UTZ program enables farmers to learn better farming methods, improve working conditions and take better care of  the environment. Through the UTZ-program farmers grow better crops, generate more income and create better opportunities while safeguarding the environment and securing the earth’s natural resources. Now and in the future.

At UTZ, we take the “big picture” approach. This is what we believe is the only way to make the production of coffee, cocoa and tea truly sustainable. Our Codes of Conduct cover a broad range of requirements contributing to better production, a better environment and a better life for everyone. Our work starts at the heart of the production chain and at the heart of the local community: farming. Many families and future generations depend on farming. It also has a big impact on the environment. This means that better farming practices provides an important foundation for a better future.
