About Us
Australian Organic Ltd (AOL) is the peak industry body representing Australian certifiers and certified operators. AOL has played a major role in the organic industry since 1987 and is Australia's largest member owned, not-for-profit organisation. AOL has been a major force in ensuring organic standards in Australia remain robust and are in line with global export markets.
AOL established an organic certification scheme (the Australian Certified Organic Standard (ACOS)) to independently verify that farmers and processors were producing in accord with those standards and introduced the leading organic certification ‘Bud’ logo.
This symbol ensures the integrity of organic products in the marketplace for consumers. It is now recognised by more than 50 per cent of Australian consumers and appears on over 33,000 products both domestically and internationally. AOL also licenses its trademark logo to certifiers accredited by the Australian Department of Agriculture and is sub-licensed to over 2,000 certified organic businesses.
