Growing pressure on producers to tackle environmental issues and adopt circular economy practices requires time and experience. Our sustainability services support your innovation in the design of products that effectively and positively impact people and the environment.
Sustainability requires a change of mindset and of traditional business practices, but it can help you to deliver products that are better for humans and the environment, to gain leadership recognition, and to meet the demands of both customers and the market.
Forest product chain-of-custody (CoC) certification
As mandatory requirements become more stringent and consumers demand wood from well-managed forests, it is crucial to know where your materials come from. Forest product CoC certification means anyone, anywhere in the world, can quickly determine the origins of wood products and the processes they have been through. It plays an important role in ensuring the traceability of wood from its origin through the entire supply chain.
It is the guarantee increasingly sought by both end consumers and your customers alike.
Our assessors will visit each site where your products are manufactured, transformed or distributed, and check:
- Product identification
- Product segregation
- Record keeping
Once these details are complete and satisfactory, you’ll receive a full report and CoC certification.
Additionally, we can perform integrated audits against different chain-of-custody standards and against forest management programs, saving your organization both time and money. Our global network operates under the terms of licenses granted by FSC™, PEFC™ and SFI™. More details are available upon request.
