What we do

From fruits and flowers to fish and feed, our portfolio is based on a robust third-party certification system that is developed in collaboration with sector stakeholders and strengthened by a framework of smart IT systems. Our holistic solutions and broader activities support the six key impact areas of food safety, environmental sustainability, workers’ well-being, animal welfare, supply chain transparency, and capacity building.

Membership Community from all sides of the value chain, or capacity-building partners and industry experts, we strive to connect with as many contributors as possible.
Thank you to all our GLOBALG.A.P. Community Members for your support!
From major retailers to independent agricultural consultants, all our community members provide valuable insights and support in improving our solutions.
Working with GLOBALG.A.P standards since 1997, I have seen the change they’ve brought – not only from the food safety perspective that is so important to consumers, but also as a practical tool that helps improve social and environmental sustainability in the lives of smallholders all over the world.
