The Managing Entity (ME) is a legally registered person, company, or organization that administers its 4C Unit.
As the certificate holder, the ME is responsible to ensure the compliance with 4C requirements within its 4C Unit. -
Intermediary Buyers (IB) are traders, which operates outside of the 4C Unit and commercialize 4C certified coffee/cocoa.
