About farfalla
Commitment to
sustainability – for a butterfly-filled future
Sustainability has been part of our DNA for over 40 years. As a pioneer in the organic sector, we are committed to biodiversity, fair trade, and organic farming. Today, we are certified according to the demanding CSE (Certified Sustainable Economics) standard – a seal that highlights sustainable business practices in all their dimensions.
Living sustainability
Nature is our inspiration – protecting it is our responsibility. Sustainability is part of our daily practice – confirmed by the demanding CSE (Certified Sustainable Economics) standard. This cross-industry CSE certification confirms comprehensively audited sustainable business practices on ethical, ecological, social, and economic levels, such as climate-friendly production using 100% green electricity, social projects, and organic growth.
Fair partnerships - on equal terms worldwide
For over 40 years, we have cultivated direct, fair partnerships with small-scale farmers and cooperatives worldwide – many of whom have been with us since the very beginning. To highlight outstanding commitment, we have created the "Grand Cru" label. It was created. It distinguishes essential oils that not only stand for organic quality, but also for social or ecological added value – such as educational initiatives or projects for local communities.
The farfalla Midwifery Aid
We provide targeted support with our midwifery services with projects for safe births, healthy mothers and babies. This is our passion project, because many regions lack professional support – our assistance helps to reduce the high maternal and infant mortality rates.
Nature conservation & animal welfare
The farfalla brand stands for respect – for people, animals, and nature. Our products are characterized by 100% natural ingredients, a high proportion of organic raw materials, vegan formulas, and the conscious, responsible use of natural active ingredients. Since our founding, we have refrained from animal testing and are among the pioneers of cruelty-free cosmetics.
Sustainable products
Honesty is important to us: We don't promise more than we can deliver. That's why we disclose which materials we use and how we make our packaging more sustainable – from recycled PE and recycled PP to recycled glass, cardboard, and paper. Organic certifications, the Natrue certification , and the CSE label confirm our consistent commitment.

More than just ecological action: a holistic approach that brings people, nature and the economy into harmony – including transparent structures, long-term thinking and lived values.
Instead of looking at short-term profits, decisions focus on the common good, appreciation for employees, partners and customers, and responsibility across all areas of the company – from production to packaging.
-
Nature is our greatest inspiration – protecting it goes without saying. That's why we have always acted in a circular, resource-efficient, and forward-looking manner. We rely on organic farming and climate-friendly production using 100% green electricity. Our packaging is also geared towards sustainability, and we consistently avoid unnecessary emissions.

In addition to our own social project, the farfalla Midwifery Aid, and our collaboration with the Wagerenhof in Uster, we also value fair partnerships with our suppliers that promote social justice and strengthen local structures.
