Food heritage is more than recipes passed down through generations. It reflects the traditions, knowledge, landscapes, and communities that shape the foods we enjoy today.

As we celebrate Sustainable Gastronomy Day, we recognize the importance of preserving food heritage while promoting responsible production practices that protect natural resources and support future generations.

At Control Union, we help strengthen trust across food supply chains through certification, verification, and assurance services. By supporting compliance with recognized standards and promoting transparency from origin to consumer, we help safeguard the integrity and authenticity of food products while contributing to more sustainable food systems.

Today, we celebrate the farmers, producers, and communities whose dedication preserves culinary traditions and food heritage around the world.

Because protecting food heritage begins with preserving the integrity of how food is produced.

Rangelands are vital ecosystems that support biodiversity, food production, climate resilience, and the livelihoods of communities around the world. Yet, land degradation and drought continue to threaten their health and productivity.

On this World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought, we recognize the critical role healthy landscapes play in creating a more sustainable future for people, businesses, and the planet.

At Control Union, sustainability is everybody's business. Through our commitment to Dare to Care, reducing our footprint, and increasing accountability, we continuously work to improve our corporate sustainability performance while supporting more responsible and resilient value chains worldwide.

As sustainability becomes increasingly fundamental to business, protecting and restoring natural ecosystems such as rangelands remains a shared responsibility. By recognizing their value, respecting the communities they support, and restoring degraded land, we can contribute to a healthier environment and a more sustainable future for generations to come.

Together, let's accelerate the journey toward lasting positive impact.

At Control Union, we are proud to celebrate World Accreditation Day 2026, recognizing the essential role accreditation plays in building confidence across global supply chains and industries.

As an accredited certification body, we understand that accreditation is more than a mark of compliance. It is a foundation for trust, a driver of innovation, and a catalyst for sustainable growth. By ensuring certification services are delivered with competence, impartiality, and consistency, accreditation gives businesses, consumers, and stakeholders confidence in certified claims.

In a rapidly evolving world, accreditation empowers organizations to embrace new technologies, meet emerging challenges, and demonstrate their commitment to quality, transparency, and sustainability.

Together, we can continue strengthening trust and creating a more sustainable future through the power of accreditation.

Healthy oceans are essential to life on Earth, and protecting them requires action both in our oceans and on land.

This World Oceans Day, Control Union highlights the importance of 𝐎𝐜𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐁𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜 (𝐎𝐁𝐏) 𝐂𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 in helping prevent plastic pollution before it reaches marine environments. Ocean Bound Plastic refers to abandoned plastic waste that is at risk of entering our oceans, making its collection and recovery a critical step in the fight against ocean pollution.

The OBP Certification Program certifies organizations involved in collecting, recycling, neutralizing, and responsibly using Ocean Bound Plastic, ensuring traceability and proof of origin throughout the value chain.

The program supports a range of stakeholders, including collectors, recyclers, neutralization service providers, plastic producers and users, and brands seeking to make credible sustainability claims.

Organizations certified under the OBP program can:

♻️ Access higher-value markets and environmentally conscious consumers

♻️ Contribute to the protection of oceans and marine biodiversity

♻️ Support circular economy initiatives through responsible plastic recovery

♻️ Create positive social impact and livelihood opportunities within vulnerable communities

As we work towards stronger marine protected areas for our blue planet, preventing plastic from reaching our oceans remains one of the most effective ways to safeguard these valuable ecosystems for future generations.

Fashion is more than what we wear. It is how it is made and how it is proven!

This Fashion Revolution Week 2026 highlights a powerful message. Change in the fashion industry cannot happen alone. It requires collective action across the entire value chain, from producers to brands to consumers.

With growing public awareness and demand for traceability, many global brands are shifting towards collections made with certified sustainable content derived from organic, recycled, or responsibly sourced materials.

Control Union has played a key role in supporting the textile industry in meeting evolving sustainability standards. From contributing to the development of the EKO Sustainable Textile Standard, one of the first standards addressing sustainability in textiles, to actively supporting initiatives like the Responsible Down Standard, we continue to help bring credibility to sustainability claims.

As expectations grow, certification and verification are essential to ensure transparency, accountability, and trust across the supply chain. Real impact happens when we work together.

Let’s keep asking the question, " Who made my clothes?" and move towards answers backed by transparency, traceability, and collective action.
