• Product-level attributes of any kind — the verification attaches to the enterprise, not to specific products or materials.
• Ingredient-level supply-chain audits comparable to Fairtrade product certification.
• Any environmental performance claim about a product made or sold by the verified enterprise.

Expiry matters — check the certificate is current.

The Guarantee System combines self-assessment, monitoring audits, and peer visits — a lighter assurance model than independent per-product certification, so treat it as enterprise-level evidence.

Distinguish 'Guaranteed' status from plain WFTO membership — only Guaranteed members have completed the Guarantee System.

Status depends on the ongoing audit cycle; confirm the member is currently listed as Guaranteed on the WFTO register.
