RHP, knowledge center for substrates, manages and develops the following certifications regarding responsibly produced raw materials:
RPC certification focuses on the responsible production of coir. RPC is a certification scheme that ensures that coir is responsibly produced, with a focus on social and environmental aspects during the processing of coir into substrate raw material or substrate.

RPP certification ensures that peat used for substrates comes from demonstrably responsible sources. Extraction is only permitted in areas that have already been degraded and may not have any negative effects on important natural values. In addition, binding plans are required for the most appropriate repurposing after the end of the extraction, with a strong focus on biodiversity and climate mitigation. Consultation with stakeholders, including local communities and environmental NGOs, is part of the selection of the peat production area and the zoning plan.
