Code of Conduct
The UTZ certification program is based on the UTZ Certified Code of Conduct: a set of social and environmental criteria for responsible coffee-growing practices and efficient farm management. Coffee producers who are UTZ certified comply with this code. The Code of Conduct version 2009 is based on the international Conventions and good agricultural practices. The Code has been developed in a broad stakeholder process and therefore widely accepted. It is based on the principle of continuous improvement. Producers comply from year 1 with core safety and quality standards. In the next year additional control points are added.
