CERTIFICATION
Ever since Börlind was founded in 1959, the company has focused on natural substances in the products it makes. In 1965, Börlind GmbH became a contracted supplier for “neuform” (Association of German Reformhaus health stores), the “neuform” trademark certifying that Börlind’s products complied with the guidelines of the German Reformhaus health stores, both from the point of view of quality requirements and of the ingredients deployed.
However, this – like the seals from the BDIH and NATRUE now in existence – only applied to the products. What is important to Börlind is an evaluation and a certification of the company as a whole. It is for this reason that Börlind GmbH has opted for certification from CSE (Certified Sustainable Economics). Its guidelines clearly exceed the criteria of customary natural cosmetics certifications, because it is not only the products, but also the entire company and its fundamental socio-ecological attitude which are monitored and confirmed.
CSE (Certified Sustainable Economics) stands for responsible ecological, socially integrated and quality-oriented company management. Manufacturing companies certified in line with the CSE Standard produce at least 75 % of the bulk of their products in accordance with an existing sector-relevant product standard (NATRUE, COSMOS, BDIH, Soil Association, COSMEBIO, ICADA, demeter, Naturland, VIVANESS 2011, natural cosmetics regulations of the Austrian Codex Alimentarius, NCS).
