Ideas are an invaluable wealth, inspiration is an eternal reference, and dreams are targets worth striving for. Passion, dedication, and integrity are the components of a fleet that sails toward achieving a goal.
It started with an idea from the founders when they met in a hotel in Jember and the realization of the vision that what every human being wants is a balance between man himself and nature. Then the vision was realized with the determination to contribute in realizing a sustainable system by choosing the role as a certification body, then at the end of December 2007, Sustainable Development Services, hereinafter referred to as SDS, was born.
Supported by a strong, competent and like-minded team, on January 12, 2009 the Certification Body was officially established: Sustainable Development Services. Born in a small town where the science and philosophy of coffee and cocoa flourish, Jember, a city in East Java is where our office is located.
Today, SDS has evolved as a leading certification body and has further solidified its role towards a sustainable system that is believed to be good for people, nature and all its inhabitants.
SDS is an ISO/IEC 17065 accredited certification body for organic farming and sustainable program standards.
