New Standards & Labels

Some good ideas eventually need a standard of their own.

From process to framework

Greenleaf Holdings works with growers, technical specialists and certification partners to explore whether distinctive production methods, processes and practices can be translated into credible standards, labels and assurance frameworks.

A current example

One current example originates in Switzerland, where a specialist medicinal-cannabis grower has developed a distinctive cultivation methodology and is exploring the next step: whether that methodology can be formalised into a standard that others can understand, assess and potentially adopt.

Define the methodology

Describe the process clearly and identify the features that make it distinctive.

Set measurable requirements

Identify what can be measured, evidenced and assessed consistently.

Build assurance criteria

Establish appropriate evidence and audit criteria, then design the standard or label structure.

Test relevance

Explore commercial relevance and work with appropriate technical and certification partners.

Status

Early-stage concept / development.
