Auditing and certifying food-production claims around organic, animal welfare, source, and sustainability practices. Work spans verification services, certification programs, labels, and supporting technology; the founder-led business reports a single Verification and Certification segment.
Audits food and agricultural production claims through on-site and desk reviews, helping customers substantiate organic, animal-welfare, source, and sustainability claims. Its five divisions include IMI Global for livestock and source/process verification, WFCF Organic for organic certification, Validus for welfare and food-safety auditing, SureHarvest for sustainability and compliance tools, and Postelsia for place-based seafood sustainability.
Operations span the North American food chain, serving producers through retailers and related organizations. A reorganization brought business units into one Verification and Certification segment. Credibility depends on independent audits and retention of qualified technical and senior personnel.
