CERES pursues the following quality objectives: 

1. Transparency – We are transparent about our criteria, policies and interpretation of the standards. Our policies are available to the public and our customers do not need to worry about suddenly being confronted with new, unexpected requirements. 

2. Efficiency – We are doing everything we can to complete the certification process as quickly as possible. Answering questions from clients is given high priority. 

3. Partnership – We provide you with tools for self-evaluation and invite you to define the necessary corrective measures yourself. We believe in the self-responsibility of certified customers.  

How we try to achieve these goals: 

  • Ceres management, consisting of Dr Bernhard Schulz, Hans Matzenberger and Franziska Staubli have many years of international experience in the certification field of sustainable standards.
  • We work with well trained and independent local staff who receives regular training. 
  • We are continuously improving our quality management. 
  • We try hard to reduce bureaucratic procedures to the necessary minimum. 
  • All customers are treated equally and impartially. 
  • We are open to new ideas and suggestions for improvements. 
  • We have clear procedures to avoid conflicts of interest and corruption.

The satisfaction of our customers is very important to us, so it is also important that complaints and appeals against decisions are dealt with in a transparent appeal. If you have an appeal to an inspection or certification decision that we have carried out, please contact us. 

Our customers can lodge complaints and appeals if they do not agree with the result of the inspection or with the inspections or certifications we have carried out. Please contact us in writing - if possible by e-mail - and we will process this as quickly as possible. In any case, we will inform you in writing of our decision and also tell you to which authority you can lodge your complaint or appeal if you are not satisfied with our decision. 

We would like to point out that you can submit an appeal within 14 days of the inspection or decision. 

We would like to improve our service. Please give us feedback here.
