Bee Better Certification Program Authorizes SCS Global Services as Certifier

EMERYVILLE, Calif., December 6, 2022 /3BL Media/ - SCS Global Services (SCS), a pioneer and global leader in third-party environmental and sustainability certification, auditing, testing, and standards development, today announced it has been approved as an authorized certification body to the Bee Better Certification Standard. Bee Better Certified^TM值is the only third-party certification program focused on pollinator health on farms.

The program was launched in 2017 by the Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation with support from USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), with the goal of protecting bees and other pollinators. Bee Better program’s focus on supporting native habitat is unique among farm certification programs and is compatible with all farming operations. Certification ensures that growers have dedicated a part of their farm to pollinator habitat and incorporated Integrated Pest Management practices aimed at protecting crop pollinators.

“We are excited to add Bee Better Certified to our suite of certification services” said Josh Edge, Senior Technical Manager of SCS’ food and agriculture division. “As a trusted leader in third-party environmental, sustainability and social audits, SCS is proud to partner with Xerces to bring the Bee Better Certification program to farms that adopt pollinator-friendly agricultural practices. We provide the added benefit of being an approved certification body in many related programs, including the Equitable Food Initiative, Sustainably Grown, Regenerative Organic Certification, SMETA and GLOBALG.A.P.– services that can be bundled with Bee Better Certification.”

Bee Better Certified^TM值was approved by Walmart last year as one of the third-party standards that meets its new purchasing requirements for fresh produce. The retailer has stated that by 2025, 100% of its fresh produce and floral purchases for its in-store produce departments will be from farms that have achieved certifications such as Bee Better Certified.
