Introducing the Fair for Life Social & FairTrade Certification System
){kind=logo}
In 2006, the Swiss Biofoundation and IMO introduced “Fair for Life”, a brand neutral, third party certification programme for Social Accountability and Fair Trade to complement existing fair trade certification systems.

The Fair for Life Social & FairTrade Certification Programme offers operators of socially responsible projects a solution for objective inspection and certification by a highly qualified external verifier. It combines strict social and fair trade standards with adaptability to local conditions. The programme is based on several sets of key baseline standards such as the ILO conventions, FLO Fairtrade standards, SA8000, and IFOAM Social Criteria. It offers operators incentives for continuous improvement of social and trade conditions beyond minimum requirements. It also allows for meaningful certification of multi-ingredient products by using content rules that are modelled after those for organic products and by reviewing all critical steps in the value chain.
IMO´s Fairwashing Policy
It is IMO´s Policy to ensure that no company (including its national or international branches, subsidiaries or other dependent units, as well as mother companies or other units of the same trust or corporation) is certified by IMO according to “for Life”, “Fair for Life”, “Ethical Value” or individual Corporate Social Responsibility if there is proof or strong evidence of serious violations of human rights or fundamental worker rights. IMO may decline applicants or clients in case these are or have become known or are accused or suspected to commiting or having recently commited serious violations of fundamental worker rights or of human rights.
