About Business

Business Summary

Indian sustainability-assessment business offering certification and verification, with separate group consulting and training routes for organisations across multiple sectors.

Business Description

Producers, processors and brands can approach Ecocert India about a defined sustainability standard or assessment need. Its India portal provides local enquiry routes and access to the group’s wider service information.

Detailed Business Description

Ecocert India connects organisations with sustainability assessment across agricultural, industrial and consumer-product supply chains.

The Indian Business and Its Group

Ecocert India is an Indian subsidiary of the international Ecocert group. Its official About page reports more than 50 employees across India and work extending into South Asian and Middle Eastern markets. Those are business-published indicators, not independently audited staffing or country-by-country authorisation figures.

The group’s history begins in France in 1991. That date is not assigned here as the Indian company’s founding or incorporation year. The India portal combines local contact routes with a wider group service catalogue; the responsible legal entity and scheme scope therefore matter when commissioning an assessment.

Indian Accreditation Milestones

20 May 2026 — NABCB Product-Certification Accreditation

NABCB’s PC 055 record gives this start date for Ecocert India Private Limited under ISO/IEC 17065:2012, with validity to 19 May 2029. Its published scope concerns NPOP crop production and processing/handling; this is not an all-scheme approval.

13 October 2026 — Current APEDA Extension Record

The APEDA list dated 13 October 2026 records NPOP/NAB/002 accreditation extended to 21 May 2027. This is the date of the published list, not an asserted original grant or renewal-decision date.

What the Current Records Establish

APEDA lists crop production, processing and handling, with additional entries for livestock and animal-feed processing/handling. Its record also includes an overseas-EU entry under NPOP and an explicit Category A/F eligibility limitation. These qualifications should be read in the current source, not replaced by a general claim of unrestricted European approval.

NABCB separately identifies Bengaluru as the main office included in its NPOP accreditation scope. Scheme authorisation, certificate scope and service-provider identity are distinct questions. A customer considering another programme should confirm the relevant current authority and market requirements with Ecocert rather than treating the group’s catalogue as an Indian accreditation register.

Choosing the Relevant Service

A producer or processor pursuing a defined label needs the applicable certification programme. A brand substantiating a claim may instead need verification of that assertion. A team learning requirements needs training, while an organisation implementing change may need the separate consulting service. These distinctions help frame the enquiry before costs, deliverables and timetable are agreed.

The certification page describes a sequence of request, contract, initial audit, file review and certification decision. Audit findings and the review stage remain material: an enquiry, training course or consulting project does not establish that a certificate will be issued.

Published Office and Contact

The authority-published main-office address is 9th Floor, Urban Vault Citrine, Sy No.43/4, Sanjeevini Nagar, Hebbal Village, Bellary Road, Bengaluru North Taluk, Bengaluru, Karnataka 560092, India. The official India website publishes +917065505625 and an online contact/quotation route. Confirm the office and appointment before travelling; the former Aurangabad address is not presented as the current main office.

Customer Questions

Is certification the same as verification?

No. Ecocert describes certification as assessment against a defined standard, while verification examines a specified claim, practice, risk or data set. The deliverable and permitted use depend on the agreed scope.

Does the group’s catalogue mean every scheme is accredited to Ecocert India?

No. The contracting entity, applicable market and current scheme authorisation must match the proposed work. The Indian NPOP and NABCB records cited here do not establish all other programme approvals.

Does consulting lead automatically to a certificate?

No. The official consulting page identifies separate specialist subsidiaries operating independently of certification. Advice or training does not replace the assessment and certification decision.

Where is the published Indian main office?

NABCB identifies the main office at 9th Floor, Urban Vault Citrine, Hebbal, Bengaluru 560092. Confirm an appointment and the appropriate service team through the official India contact route.

How can a buyer check a certificate?

Use the official Ecocert certificate directory and match the operator, products or activities, sites, standard and validity. A general brand reference is not enough to establish a particular certified scope.

Siachen Business Information & Verification

Independent information checks for this business profile.

These statuses describe the information checked for this profile. ‘Not Yet Checked’ means the review is pending; it does not indicate a concern about the business.

The accreditation check concerns the APEDA record and its stated NPOP scope, not every service or scheme in the group catalogue. Legal incorporation, mailbox delivery and representative authority were not independently established. The private-company public-listing/exchange display exception is applied; no stock-listing verification is implied. Information checks are not a product-quality assessment, endorsement or guarantee of service.

Siachen Reader Note

Business information naturally evolves over time as organisations introduce new products, services, facilities, technologies, certifications, leadership changes and operational improvements.

This Business Knowledge Profile begins with information submitted by the business owner or representative. Siachen then reviews, verifies where possible, and enhances that information using the company’s official website, where available, and other reliable public sources before publishing the revised profile.

As business information may change after publication, readers are encouraged to visit the company's official website, where available, or contact the business directly to obtain the latest information regarding products, services, pricing, operating hours, admissions, appointments, certifications, contact details, locations and other important updates before making business decisions.

Siachen Business Knowledge Platform periodically reviews Business Knowledge Profiles wherever practical. However, the official website, where available, and authorised representatives of the business remain the most reliable sources of current information.

Products / Services

Organic Agriculture and Food-Supply Certification

The India catalogue includes NPOP alongside programme information for destination markets. This is relevant to farms, producer groups, processors and traders whose products or operations must meet a specified organic standard. Assessment concerns the defined production or handling activity, not a blanket approval of the entire business. The current Indian NPOP record is described below; the appropriate export-market scheme and contracting entity need to be established separately.

Textile, Cosmetics and Other Sector Programmes

The official India portal presents programme routes for textiles, cosmetics, homecare, forestry, sustainable materials and agricultural inputs. Examples linked from the home page include GOTS, COSMOS and Fair for Life. These serve different products and supply-chain requirements: a textile operation and a cosmetics formulation do not share one interchangeable certificate. The catalogue is a starting point for a scope discussion, not proof that all schemes are delivered under the Indian entity’s accreditation.

Claims, Supplier and Data Verification

Ecocert separates verification from standard-based certification. Its offer covers supplier practices, environmental or social claims, supply-chain traceability and sustainability-data or scoring-method validation. Work may examine documents, sites and corroborating evidence before a report and verification statement are issued. This can suit an organisation that needs a particular assertion assessed rather than a product label. The exact methodology and permitted communication of the findings belong in the agreed scope.

Training and Team Development

The training portal covers organic regulations, responsible purchasing, sustainable cosmetics and environmental communication. Formats listed include virtual classrooms, e-learning and tailored programmes. Producers, exporters, professionals and institutional teams can use training to understand requirements or develop operational skills. Current India availability, language, course content and delivery arrangements should be confirmed with the service team; a course is not itself a certificate for the participant’s products.

Separate Group Consulting Services

The consulting page identifies Des Enjeux et des Hommes and Transitions as specialist group subsidiaries operating independently of certification. Their work includes sustainability diagnosis, strategy, tools and project implementation. An Indian enquiry can establish the appropriate provider and local scope. This distinction matters when a customer wants improvement support: purchasing advice does not purchase, assure or replace an independent certification decision.

Certificate Information and Enquiry Routes

The official portal links to the Ecocert certificate directory, client portal and quotation route. Buyers can use the directory to investigate a named operator’s certificate; prospective clients can approach the India team with their product, activity, sites and intended market. These are information and service routes, not a public guarantee of certification, a fixed-price package or a claim that an online submission has been transaction-tested by Siachen.
