Our certifications

IP-certification means food production with higher food safety, reduced negative climate impact, and more fair working conditions. Svenskt Sigill Klimatcertifiering (Swedish Seal Climate Certification) is only granted to raw materials from farmers who have done everything to decrease climate impact. That is concrete actions conducted in production with a significant impact to save our environment

Global Standard for Food Safety Issue 8 is one of the toughest Food Safety certifications in the world and a sign of food production on the highest level of hygiene, quality, and safety

Global GAP Produce Safety Assurance Standard is a certification of Food Safety throughout the value chain of our herbs - from seed to packaging

Oh My Greens is the first vertical farm in the world delivering Climate Neutral herbs from seed to retail shelf - in line with the Climate Neutral Certification Programme. We calculate our emissions down to each gram of CO2 including raw material, storage, production, and the entire transport chain until our products reach the shelf. We work hard to reduce our emissions and compensate for our remaining emissions

we compensate for all our emission - with a clear action plan for emissions reduction

Climate policy

Oh My Greens is a vertical cultivation farm that is located in Söderfors, Sweden, growing various herbs such as basil, parsley, dill, etc. The cultivation platform itself is the latest technology from Netled where almost everything is automatic and operated mechanically and the advantage is that the production should be at least 2.5 times larger, 60% lower energy consumption and 95% lower water consumption compared to traditional methods. More taste and stronger plants as well as higher nutrients, which makes the plants more useful. Cultivation all year round and no use of pesticides, as well as very low nitrate levels.


Our goal is to be as efficient and maintain low CO2 emissions as far as possible from the beginning. We believe that it is very important to think about our climate and therefore want to build this vertical farm where our products become climate neutral. That is why we have decided to become certified with a CNG (Climate Neutral Group) certificate. To become that, we have to calculate our CO2 footprint and from this we can see what contributes the most to CO2 emissions and which parts we can try to reduce emissions from.

To achieve the aforementioned GHG reduction targets, we want to implement the following reduction measures with envisioned CO2 reduction in grams per pot

  1. Switch to green electricity (committed implementation 2022) | 36 g/pot
  2. Source substrate closer by ~50% (planned implementation 2023) | 0.3 g/pot
  3. Less waste (planned implementation 2024) | 3 g/pot
  4. Electric transport downstream (planned implementation 2025) | 5 g/pot
  5. Electric transport upstream (planned implementation 2026) | 2 g/pot
