Rainforest Alliance Certified
Issued by Rainforest Alliance
CertificationAudit Scope
Annual third-party audit of farms or supply chains against the Rainforest Alliance Sustainable Agriculture Standard (2020), which covers biodiversity conservation, sustainable livelihoods, climate, and human rights. Standard merged with former UTZ certification in 2020.
What It Proves
Independent audit confirms compliance with the Rainforest Alliance Sustainable Agriculture Standard for farms or supply chains. The 2020 standard supersedes legacy Rainforest Alliance and UTZ standards.
What It Does Not Prove
Does NOT certify product quality, safety, nutritional content, or organic status. Does NOT guarantee a 100% deforestation-free supply chain — audit scope and chain-of-custody have limits. Pre-2020 certifications under older Rainforest Alliance or UTZ standards are distinct historical states; current certs are under the unified 2020 standard.
