Azolla Certified was founded to support businesses and brands achieve sustainable and ethical practices. Ethical accountability refers to the fair treatment of workers, working conditions and the upholding of human rights. Sustainability refers to a business delivering products or services whilst also improving the social and environmental impact, and can encompass a broad range of practices.

Ethical
In 2018, Australia implemented the Modern Slavery Act. This requires entities based or operating in Australia with an annual revenue over $100 million (or $50 million in NSW), to report on modern slavery risks, any actions taken and their effectiveness. For all companies, regardless of size, gaining transparency in the ethical practices of manufacturing in their supply chain is critical. There are heavy penalties for non-compliance.

Azolla Ethical Certified is the ideal tool to add genuine, frontline credibility to your Modern Slavery Act statement while giving your customers reassurance in your ethical business practices.

Environmental
Some of the greatest contributors to greenhouse gases and the deterioration of our environment are; factory air pollutant emissions, toxic waste disposal and water contamination. Gaining transparency in supply chain practices helps companies uncover, and ultimately improve, the environmental impact of their supply chain.

Azolla Environmental Certified is the ideal tool to add genuine, frontline credibility and gives assurance to stakeholders and consumers that your company is doing its utmost due diligence with its environmental practices in the manufacture and supply of your products.
