How to Get RTRS Certification with Cotecna    

Cotecna provides RTRS certification services to help soy producers and supply chain actors demonstrate compliance with internationally recognized standards for responsible soy production. This certification strengthens brand reputation and ensures product integrity throughout the entire soy supply chain, from cultivation to final delivery. 

Organizations seeking RTRS certification must first complete the application and contract agreement process. 

Once this is finalized, Cotecna will conduct an initial certification audit or re-certification audit to verify compliance with RTRS requirements. Upon successful completion, your organization will receive an RTRS certificate, typically valid for five years. After this period, a recertification audit is required to renew the certificate. 

During the validity period, annual surveillance audits will be conducted to ensure ongoing compliance with RTRS standards and continuous improvement in sustainable soy production practices.
