Certifications

Quality comes first at McLeod Russel and to achieve internationally recognised certifications we have invested on nearly all our estates' accreditations that provide our customers with assurance that we follow best practice policies.

These certifications include Rainforest Alliance, Trustea and ISO 22000. We take great pride in promoting and publishing these prestigious accreditations.

Rainforest AllianceThe Rainforest Alliance is an international non-profit organization that works to conserve biodiversity and ensures sustainable livelihoods. Based in New York City, with offices throughout the United States and worldwide, the Rainforest Alliance works with people whose livelihoods depend on the land, helping them transform the way they grow food, harvest wood and host travellers. From large multinational corporations to small, community-based cooperatives, Rainforest Alliance involves businesses and consumers worldwide in their efforts to bring responsibly produced goods and services to a global marketplace where the demand for sustainability is growing steadily. Farms and forestry enterprises that meet their comprehensive criteria receive the Rainforest Alliance certification seal. Our products are Rainforest Alliance certified, adhering to the organisation's standards for sustainability to conserve wildlife and wetlands and promote the well-being of workers and their communities.

ISOOur teas are ISO certified. ISO (International Organization for Standardization) is the world's largest developer and publisher of International Standards. ISO, as a network of the national standards institutes of 163 countries, one member per country, with a Central Secretariat in Geneva, Switzerland, that coordinates the system. A non-governmental organization, ISO bridges the gap between the public and private sectors. On the one hand, many of its member institutes are part of the governmental structure of their countries, or are mandated by their government. On the other hand, other members have their roots uniquely in the private sector, having been set up by national partnerships of industry associations. Therefore, ISO enables a consensus to be reached on solutions that meet both the requirements of business and the broader needs of society. Know more www.iso.org

Trustea All of 31 estates in Assam are Trustea Certified, which is an Indian sustainability code and verification system for the tea sector, which addresses some of these challenges. The Code enables producers, buyers and others involved in Indian tea businesses to obtain tea that has been produced according to agreed, credible, transparent and measurable criteria. Trustea Code encompasses all aspects of tea manufacturing and supports sustainability across the chain by improving productivity, quality and maintaining safety standards.
