We provide a Sustainability Certification for Cannabis that is cultivated without the use of harmful chemicals, conserves resources like energy and water and produces little waste that is managed responsibly. Founded by Erin Loughney, Jacob Policzer, Brittny Anderson, Jonathan Valdman and Brian Farmer The Cannabis Conservancy™ provides Sustainability Certification to legal Cannabis organizations t
hat adhere to Good Agricultural Practices, are free of harmful chemical inputs, utilize waste reduction methods, are energy efficient, and conserve water. Our Standards are backed by a rigorous Quality Management System (QMS), and can be applied to any type of grow – indoor to sun grown; individual to grower groups; small to large; and everything in between. We assess your operation based on our Standards’ core pillars: policy and implementation, land and infrastructure, cultivation, water, waste, energy, harvesting and processing. Our team of qualified sustainability experts understand that this is a long-term commitment of gradual improvement and have therefore based our Standards on a pragmatic approach that incorporates and appreciates the uniqueness of each individual’s practices. We guide growers towards compliance and provide support in achieving sustainability and resiliency in the marketplace. We elevate the industry as we take the journey toward sustainability together. Our goal is to make the Cannabis industry the most sustainable industry on the planet. The MYGrow™ Quick Response (QR) Code system connects consumers directly to producers. The individualized QR codes are incorporated into the label on packages. Consumers scan the code and they are brought directly to the grower's webpage on TCC's website. This platform enables consumers to learn about their grower and their products. It gives growers the opportunity to tell their story directly to consumers. This builds brand loyalty, trust and increases the value of TCC Certified products. By offering a direct consumer link to growers, TCC affords the marketplace a transparent model for traceability and quality that no other standard or certification body currently offers.
