UEBT - Union for Ethical BioTrade

UEBT is a non-profit association that promotes sourcing with respect. We support and verify companies’ commitments to innovation and sourcing that contribute to a world in which people and biodiversity thrive.
We set good practices for how companies and their suppliers source natural ingredients.
We are internationally recognised for our work advancing business contributions to sustainable development goals.

The good practices we set act as a guidepost for how companies and their suppliers should harvest, collect or grow natural ingredients in a way that is respectful of the local environment and the people who call it home. We call this "sourcing with respect." Companies, communities, civil society and other stakeholders are involved in developing these practices, collectively known as the UEBT standard.

Working with UEBT is a powerful way for businesses to demonstrate impact to consumers, governments and other supply chain actors, and UEBT certification allows all of us to choose brands, products and ingredients that are contributing to a world in which people and biodiversity thrive.
