Independent inspection and certification rooted in organic agriculture, serving global supply chains since 1996
From Turkey to the World
For more than three decades, ETKO has supported producers, processors, exporters and brands that need reliable certification across complex global supply chains.
Our work began in organic agriculture and expanded into international sustainability standards, textile programs, cosmetics, ecological standards and chain-of-custody certification. Today, ETKO combines field-level inspection discipline with the documentation, impartiality and transparency expected by global markets.
We do not only issue certificates; we help build verified trust between producers, brands, regulators and consumers.
ETKO's experience is measured not only by years, but by the continuity of its accreditations, international memberships, field audits and long-term relationships.
