Our Latest Certifications

All of KVPL's black tea factories are ISO 22000:2018 certified, and its tea plantations are accredited with Rainforest Alliance certification. Additionally, our company is committed to good agricultural practices that help protect the environment, preserve biodiversity and promote worker safety and health.

The rubber plantations too have been endorsed by Forest Stewardship Council (FSCTM) Certification and Organic rubber certifications (USDA/NOP & EU) while products of sole crepe, centrifuge latex and crepe rubber are certified with FSC chain of custody certification and Global Organic Latex Standard (GOLS) certification. Recently, we got Fair Rubber Certification for two of our rubber plantations with processing centers, which allows us to improve the working and living conditions of estate workers through offered Fair Rubber Premium and the Sustainability Framework Certification for our 10 rubber plantations which is inspired by several existing sustainability schemes as well as the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
