Utz Certified is a worldwide certification program, establishing a standard for the production and responsible coffee supplying. The Code of Conduct Utz Kapeh is derived from the integration between different points of the standards: the ILO Convention (International Labour Organization); EurepGap (European standard for GFP), ISO 14001 (Environmental) and OHAS 18001 (Health and Safety at Work). 

 

Utz Certified, whose name means "good coffee" in Mayan language of Central America, provides the assurance of food safety and social and environmental quality in coffee production required by consumers worldwide. Audited by the first time in May 2007 by SGS (Certificate based in Switzerland founded in 1878), the Fazenda California again demonstrated its pioneering spirit to get the first place in coffee property of the State of Paraná obtaining Utz Kapeh certification. 

 

Thus, the certification gotten from an independent organization serves as a guarantee that the production system is the California Farm conducted according to a set of criteria internationally recognized for food security and environmental responsibility.
