Svenskt Sigill

What Svenskt Sigill does

Svenskt Sigill (trading as Sigill) is a Stockholm-based private Swedish certification organization founded in 2003 that owns and operates the IP-standarden (IP Standard), Sweden's leading certification standard for sustainable food and flower production. The IP-standarden provides quality and sustainability verification across the entire supply chain from producer to consumer, and is specifically adapted for Nordic conditions while aligning with new EU requirements for independent certification systems, including sustainability communication rules effective September 27, 2026.

The company's product portfolio comprises the IP-standarden (the core standard and trademark), the Mitt Sigill digital portal used by certified companies to manage their certifications, and Miljöhusesyn, a digital tool that gives farmers access to laws-and-regulations compliance information. Svenskt Sigill has recently expanded the standard family with the Växtodling (Crop Production) and Effektberäkning (Effect Calculation) standards, which add climate-impact tracking and certification, and has introduced a modular brand concept for verified sustainability values to support transparency and credible sustainability claims.

The business model is built on recurring certification services to Swedish producers, food companies, and procurement/trade buyers, with certification fees described as the primary revenue stream (specific pricing is not publicly disclosed). Svenskt Sigill co-develops its standards in close collaboration with food-chain actors and operates a primarily domestic, single-country go-to-market with three target segments - producers/companies, procurement/trade, and consumers - reached through its website, newsletter, press room, and the Mitt Sigill portal.
