The ethical and organic certification standards "ESR - Equitable, Solidaire, Responsable" have been developped by Ecocert and apply to food, cosmetics and fashion items that meet both the criteria of organic farming and fair trade. The "Ecocert Equitable" seal ensures transparency on both organic and fair trade products.
