Certifications
The GLOBALG.AP Chain of Custody Standard is an essential certificate for all producers and retailers handling GLOBALG.AP certified products. It ensures that any product bearing a GLOBALG.AP label or sold as a GLOBALG.AP certified product is sourced from GLOBALG.AP certified farms.
The GLOBALG.AP Chain of Custody (CoC) Standard gives you the level of transparency and integrity that provides added value to your product and brand in the market and added reassurance to your customers.
Certification according to the GLOBALG.AP Chain of Custody (CoC) standard ensures the segregation and traceability, and thus integrity, of your product’s GLOBALG.AP certification status throughout its entire cycle, from the farm to the restaurant or market shelf.
