Overview
Rainforest Alliance Certified is a product certification program administered by the Rainforest Alliance that verifies agricultural and forestry operations meet rigorous standards for environmental protection, worker rights, and community well-being. Farms and supply chain companies that meet these standards are permitted to display the recognizable green frog seal on their products, signaling to consumers and buyers that the product was sourced responsibly.
The certification covers a wide range of product categories, including coffee, tea, cocoa and chocolate, bananas and other fresh fruit, flowers, paper and tissue products, and wood furniture. It is relevant to both producers — such as farms and cooperatives — and companies throughout the supply chain, including processors, traders, manufacturers, and retailers, who must obtain Chain of Custody certification to use the seal on finished goods.
For businesses, Rainforest Alliance Certification provides a credible, internationally recognized way to demonstrate sustainability commitments, meet growing retailer and regulatory requirements such as the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), and connect with consumers who prioritize responsibly sourced products. The program operates across more than two dozen countries and is suited to agricultural and manufacturing companies looking to validate the sustainability of their sourcing practices.
