INCCert is a mission-driven standard owner advancing regenerative and fully traceable supply chains for emerging natural commodities. By developing standards that are independently audited by internationally recognized certification bodies, INCCert ensures credibility from farm to finished product. Our programs provide brands and retailers with the assurance they need to make verified sustainability claims across high-impact sectors—including bast fibers and functional botanicals—while aligning sourcing practices with climate resilience, biodiversity protection, and ethical trade.

In 2024, INCCert launched the Responsible Hemp Standard (RHS)—the first global chain-of-custody certification program for industrial hemp. Spanning applications from apparel and nonwovens to construction materials and food, RHS provides a framework for traceability and transparency across the industrial hemp supply chain. At its core, RHS is built on rigorous third-party audits conducted by accredited certification bodies, ensuring that every step of the chain is independently verified. This independent oversight not only strengthens credibility with brands and consumers but also reduces reputational and compliance risks, positioning RHS as the trusted benchmark for Responsible Hemp sourcing worldwide.

INCCert is also developing the Responsible Hemp Botanical (RHB) Standard, designed to elevate integrity across the hemp-derived cannabinoid supply chain. RHB Certification relies on rigorous third-party audits conducted by accredited certification bodies, verifying ingredient origin, purity, and processing practices at every stage. This independent verification provides brands with elevated credibility, reduces regulatory and reputational risks, and helps them stand out in a crowded and highly scrutinized marketplace.
