Company certification
CSE – Company certification
CSE (Certified Sustainable Economics) is a cross-sector certificate for companies and organizations that operate sustainably. The CSE seal acts as a quality mark for products from these certified companies. With CSE, credible sustainability is guaranteed and made transparent from company management to the end product.
Product certifications
NCP – Product certification for natural products
NCP (Nature Care Product) is a quality seal for natural-based products. It identifies everyday products such as cleaning agents, hygiene products, gardening supplies, toys and candles that are made from natural ingredients and are produced in an environmentally friendly way.
NCS – Product certification for natural cosmetics
The Natural Cosmetic Standard recognizes cosmetic products that meet strict criteria in terms of ingredients and resource-conserving production. This seal guarantees consumers authentic natural cosmetics without synthetic additives and with a special focus on ecological compatibility.
NATURE THANX – therapeutic support meets naturalness
Nature Thanx (NT) is a quality seal for therapy-supporting natural cosmetics. It identifies products that have been developed to promote physical and mental balance, such as therapy-supporting creams and ointments.
Certified sustainable companies
These committed companies are certified according to our CSE standard in order to make their outstanding pioneering achievements in sustainable business visible and thus clearly position themselves.
Voices of our sustainability pioneers
For 35 years, the three pillars of sustainability – ecology, economy and social responsibility – have been self-evident, practiced values of our corporate culture. These competencies are documented by the CSE seal.
