Verifying products with third-party certificates

At ABENA, we have great ambitions to be our customers’ most trusted supplier. We therefore believe in a transparent business conduct and we use independent third-party certifications to document our results - 16 certifications document our own production.

A certification is more than just a piece of paper. Certifications set a large number of requirements for documentation on raw materials, the origin of raw materials, production methods, and ingredients, among others. The criteria are individual from certification to certification, product to product, and service to service. 

Below you can learn more about the 16 certifications that document our own production.
The product certifications only relate to the individual products that they appear on.
