Preferred by Nature

Preferred by Nature (formerly known as NEPCon) is an international non-profit organisation working to support better land management and business practices that benefit people, nature and the climate. We do this through a unique combination of sustainability certification services, projects supporting awareness raising, and capacity building. For more than 25 years, we have worked to develop practical solutions to drive positive impacts in production landscapes and supply chains in 100+ countries. We focus on land use, primarily through forest, agriculture and climate impact commodities, and related sectors such as tourism and conservation. Our self-managing division promotes and delivers our sustainability certification services. Surplus from these activities supports the development and implementation of our non-profit projects. We engage in projects that develop new green solutions, conserve biodiversity or help buyers to make sustainable choices. Our projects are funded by donors, governments and companies and have supported the establishment of over 100 protected areas. To date, we have evaluated forest legality in 70 countries. We are accredited certifiers for sustainability schemes such as FSC, PEFC, SBP, RSPO, SRP, UEBT, GlobalGAP as well as Rainforest Alliance Sustainable Agriculture. We also certify to our own LegalSource™, Carbon Footprint Management and Sustainable Tourism standards. As a subscriber to the ISEAL Alliance, we are committed to creating credible social and environmental standards. We also help develop and improve the systems we work with. We are recognised by the EU as a Monitoring Organisation under the EU Timber Regulation.
