Fairtrade

Fairtrade zertifiziert den kontrollierten Handel mit Produkten zu festen Preisen und wird durch die weltweit organisierte Fairtrade Labelling Organisation (FLO) überwacht.


Von Fairtrade profitieren Verbraucher und Produzenten gleichermaßen. Die Verbraucher erhalten Produkte, die umweltschonend angebaut und streng kontrolliert werden. Die Produzenten bekommen einen fairen Preis für ihre Produkte sowie eine zusätzliche Fairtrade-Prämie, die lokal in ökologische und soziale Projekte investiert wird.

IFS Broker

Der IFS Broker ist ein Standard speziell für Broker, Agenten und Importeure und gewährleistet die Sicherheit und Qualität von Produkten.


Der Standard zertifiziert, dass alle beteiligten Parteien in Übereinstimmung mit Produktsicherheits- und Qualitätsanforderungen agieren. Broker, Agenten und Importeure müssen zudem ihre Lieferanten diesbezüglich überwachen, so dass die gelieferten Produkte rechtlichen und vertragsspezifischen Vorgaben entsprechen.

CNG Certification

Since 2022, Port International Organics GmbH’s organic Fairtrade bananas from Ecuador and Peru have been certified according to the Climate Neutral Certification Standard vs. 1.0 – Sept. 2020. In 2023, we successfully achieved our re-certification and had conventional bananas from Ecuador, imported by Port International Bananas GmbH, certified for the first time.
These bananas are destined for a Dutch customer and are certified from cultivation to packaging and transport all the way up to disposal. This means that first, the CO2 emissions are calculated, then we reduce them as much as possible along the supply chain, and finally offset any remaining emissions.
By 2030, we aim to reduce the carbon footprint of our bananas by 25 %, in line with scientific evidence to combat climate change. To do this, we are taking reduction measures such as switching to green electricity, replacing plastic with paper, installing solar panels, using biofuels in container ships and many more.
Please see our Climate Policy for further information.

Our climate neutral certificate is valid until 30.04.2024.

Rainforest Alliance Certificate

Organic

We offer a wide variety of products in certified organic quality. Organic farming ensures that the fruit grows naturally and no additional strain is placed on the environment.

Our organic code number is
DE-ÖKO-039

Fairtrade

Fairtrade certifies the controlled trade of products at fixed prices and is monitored by the international Fairtrade Labelling Organisation (FLO).

Fairtrade benefits consumers and producers alike. Consumers receive products that are strictly controlled and grown in an environmentally friendly manner. Growers receive a fair price for their products along with an additional Fairtrade premium which is invested locally in social and environmental projects.

IFS Broker

IFS Broker is a standard created especially for brokers, agents and importers which serves as a guarantee of product safety and quality.

The standard certifies that all the parties involved comply with specific product safety and quality requirements. Brokers, agents and importers must also monitor their suppliers to ensure that the products supplied meet certain legal and contractual specifications.
