RTRS Certification

Promoting Responsible Soy Cultivation with RTRS Certification

By Shark Certification Pvt. Ltd., Indore

At Shark Certification Pvt. Ltd., we are committed to advancing responsible agricultural practices through globally recognized certifications. Our RTRS (Round Table on Responsible Soy) Certification services are designed to support soy and corn producers, processors, and supply chain partners in aligning with sustainable and ethical production standards.

What is RTRS Certification?

The RTRS Certification is an international standard promoting environmentally sound, socially responsible, and economically viable soy production. It is a voluntary initiative that brings together stakeholders from across the soy and corn value chains to ensure sustainability, respect for local communities, and protection of ecosystems. RTRS also meets the sustainability criteria of the European Renewable Energy Directive, adding further value for companies operating globally.
