What it means	A 'beyond organic' standard developed by the Regenerative Organic Alliance (Patagonia, Rodale Institute, Dr. Bronner's, others). Built on top of USDA Organic; adds soil health, animal welfare, and social fairness pillars.	North America's leading 'no genetically modified organisms' certification. Tests for the presence of GMOs in finished products. NOT organic.	Finland's national organic 'Sun Mark' (Aurinkomerkki). Operated by the Finnish Food Authority. In practice most Finnish organic packaging carries both Luomu and the EU Leaf — they certify to the same baseline.	An EU-based natural-and-organic cosmetics certification. Three grades: Natural, Natural with Organic portion, and Organic.
Scope	Several categories	Food	Food	Cosmetics
Established	2018	2010	1995	2007
Inspection	Annual on-site by ROA-accredited certifier	Annual third-party audit + lab testing	Annual on-site by Finnish Food Authority	Annual third-party audit
Residue testing	Per USDA NOP	GMO testing only (not pesticide)	Required	Risk-based
Guarantees	USDA Organic baseline (or equivalent) is a prerequisite. Soil health: cover cropping, no-till or reduced-till, conservation crop rotation, compost. Animal welfare: pasture-based, Five Freedoms, prohibits factory-farm conditions. Social fairness: living wage, freedom of association, safe workplace, no forced or child labour. Three tiers: Bronze, Silver, Gold based on adoption depth.	Verified absence of GMO ingredients (with action thresholds, not zero tolerance). Annual third-party verification. Tracing and segregation across the supply chain.	EU baseline organic (Finnish supply chains end-to-end). Annual on-site inspection by the Finnish Food Authority.	Restricted ingredient list (no synthetic fragrances, no silicones, no PEGs). Tiered organic content: Natural with Organic portion ≥70% certified organic; Organic ≥95%. Annual third-party verification.
Does NOT	Newer label (2018+) — supply still limited, mostly US brands.	Doesn't mean organic — Non-GMO products can use synthetic pesticides and fertilizers freely.	The Sun Mark is awarded only to fully Finnish supply chains — imports use the EU Leaf alone.	Mark is trademark-protected.
