We are committed to delivering products that meet the highest standards of quality and sustainability. Our certifications reflect this dual focus. We ensure exceptional product performance while upholding our responsibility to the environment.

Through the RHP certification, we guarantee consistent quality, safety, and suitability for professional horticultural applications. Every batch is tested and traceable, giving our partners confidence in the reliability and effectiveness of our products.

At the same time, our RPP certification demonstrates our commitment to responsible peatland management. We extract peat only from approved sites, avoid high conservation value areas, and implement restoration plans to ensure long-term ecological balance. These certifications reflect our values and promise to our partners. Read more about our RHP or RPP Certifications.

• Utilizing Degraded Peatlands: The certification encourages peat extraction from already degraded peatlands, promoting the restoration of these areas post-extraction.
• Compliance with Legislation: RPP certified operations must adhere to all relevant local, national, and international laws and regulations, ensuring legal and ethical practices throughout the extraction process.

The RPP Certification Process

Achieving RPP certification involves a comprehensive evaluation process, that includes: Environmental Impact Assessment to evaluate the potential environmental impacts of peat extraction activities.  Independent On-site inspections by independent experts to verify compliance with RPP standards. Stakeholder Consultation that includes local community, NGOs, and other stakeholders to ensure transparency and address any concerns. And also After-Use Planning for the restoration or rehabilitation of peat extraction sites to their natural state post-extraction.
