Regenerative Organic Alliance
The 501(c)(3) that owns and stewards the Regenerative Organic Certified® (ROC) standard — a cert built on three pillars: soil health, animal welfare, and farmworker fairness. Founded by Rodale Institute, Patagonia, and Dr. Bronner's; ROC is now the most-cited regenerative cert in food, textiles, and personal-care ingredient supply chains.

What they do
The Regenerative Organic Alliance is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that owns the [[regenerative-organic-certified|Regenerative Organic Certified]]® standard. ROC is an add-on cert on top of [[organic-agriculture|USDA Organic]] (or international equivalent), measured across three pillars: soil health (cover crops, no-till or reduced-till, biodiversity), animal welfare (5 Freedoms, pasture access, no CAFOs), and farmworker fairness (living wages, freedom of association, no forced labor). Producers across food, textiles (cotton, wool), and personal-care ingredients (coconut, palm, herbs) now carry ROC.
Why it’s listed
[[directory|The directory]]‘s substrate filter and ROC’s three pillars are nearly the same instrument. Soil health is the substrate-builder claim; animal welfare and farmworker fairness are the moral baselines that distinguish aligned operations from greenwashed ones. ROC is the closest existing cert to what the 0mn1.one directory itself is filtering for — surfacing it makes that connection legible.
