Certifications
Key Certifications Driving Growth in Latin America
Certifications are the recognized marks of compliance and quality that open doors to international trade. In Latin America, businesses increasingly pursue ISO 9001, HACCP, GMP, ESG compliance, organic, fair trade, and carbon-neutral certifications to compete globally and meet rising ESG expectations.
In 2024, more than 60% of exporting companies in the region held at least one international certification, a share expected to grow as trade agreements and consumer demand tighten requirements.
