CERTIFICATIONS

NSURING THAT OUR ETHICS ARE RECOGNISED

Malongo ethics are based on respect for the product, for the environment and for the men and women working the land. Official recognition of these values by external organisations is essential. We hold certification in various fields such as fair trade, organic farming, the protection of the environment and food safety.

Fair Trade

FAIRTRADE/MAX HAVELAAR

Malongo committed to the Fairtrade/Max Havelaar label, co-founded by Father Van der Hoff, from the 1990’s.  Fairtrade International acts as a relay for Fairtrade Max Havelaar in several countries, creating a partnership that defines international fair trade standards. In France, Max Havelaar France promotes the label and helps to organise various events.

Fair Trade

WFTO

 

WFTO (World Fair Trade Organization) is one of the oldest fair trade networks, and allocates its label to organisations. This ethical policy covers all company activities. WFTO maintains traditional fair trade targets: improving the lifestyle of the growers and creating a fairer business model. WFTO bases its activities on 12 principles in relation to ethical, social, economic, ecological and cultural factors.

 

 

Organic Farming

AB

 

Many Malongo products hold the organic “AB”  label, applying strict specifications to guarantee that the product was grown using ecological techniques without fertilisers or pesticides. In order to obtain this certification, organic coffee must successfully pass various tests organised by independent official international labels such as ECOCERT in producing countries and AB in France.
