Organic labels guarantee, that the product meets at least the respective governmental criteria for organic production and manufacturing.
The market share of organic products has been rising remarkably during the past decades and continues to grow. We are able to even fulfill the most rigorous requirements for organic certification and have expertise in various markets.
Organic labels affect the production and supply chains of ingredients. Thus, they require special sourcing, flow of goods and certification processes, including third party certification. Non-governmental labels demand license agreements and fees.
The awareness towards climate change and product carbon footprints is rising. The carbon neutral product label guarantees that all emissions along the value chain of your product are compensated.
Enhance credibility by creating carbon neutral products and branding! We calculate the carbon footprint for you and manage the offsetting with Peruvian cocoa farmers. Our archive helps you to communicate.
We work with external experts and cocoa farmers in internationally recognized projects. All you have to do is supporting the plantation of trees and signing a free of charge trademark agreement.
The FSC label is the independent guarantee that your paper based wrappers come from responsible forest management.
Chocolats Halba buys all paper based wrappers only FSC certified. You can simply add the FSC logo to your wrapper.
The certification process is carried out by independent certification bodies. Once a forest is certified, the products that come from it are traceable throughout the supply chain. This ensures that any claims on the origin of the paper are credible and verifiable.
