Certyfikacja FSC™ CoC

Udowodnij właściwe pochodzenie produktów z drewna i papieru

Zapotrzebowanie na drewno, papier i inne produkty leśne pochodzące z dobrze zarządzanych lasów wciąż rośnie. Konsumenci i partnerzy biznesowi chcą mieć pewność, że ich produkty pochodzą z odpowiedzialnie zarządzanych źródeł, które ograniczają ich szkody dla środowiska leśnego i społeczności tubylczych zależnych od lasów. Twoja firma musi również udowodnić, że Twoje produkty pochodzą wyłącznie z legalnych źródeł, zgodnie z wymogami rozporządzenia UE w sprawie drewna, ustawy Lacey Act w Stanach Zjednoczonych lub podobnych wymogów prawnych.

CZYM JEST CERTYFIKACJA FSC™ Chain of CustodY?

Forest Stewardship Council™ (FSC) jest organizacją non-profit, która ustanawia standardy dla praktyk leśnych w celu promowania odpowiedzialnego ekologicznie i korzystnego społecznie leśnictwa. Produkty drewniane, takie jak meble, mogą być oznakowane jako certyfikowane FSC, jeśli spełniają wysokie standardy określone przez organizację.

Aby uzyskać certyfikat, przepływ materiału drzewnego - z lasu do klienta - musi być monitorowany w celu wykazania jego pochodzenia. Dowód ten jest znany jako Chain of Custody (CoC).

Why is it important?

This assures customers that your company only uses legal sources and responsibly managed forests for its material.

It enables you to offer your customers better value in terms of origin of material and promotion of responsible forestry.

By using FSC™ material, you can also open up new business opportunities for your company in markets requiring the certification.

Our FSC™ CoC services

We offer services to support your company at every stage of the certification process, from pre-audit throughout the entire five-year certification cycle.  

Designed for all businesses involved in the supply chain of forest-based products, FSC CoC certifications require ongoing annual audits. We can perform these audits within the five-year certification cycle to monitor how your organisation has implemented requirements for the separation of certified and uncertified material, as well as identifying ways in which they might potentially get mixed. Our auditors observe your company’s separation and flow of material, its management systems, and your use of the FSC trademarks.

FSC Controlled Wood

FSC Controlled Wood covers wood that is not FSC certified but meets the specifications of the FSC Controlled Wood Standard. This includes legality of the harvest and due consideration to key social and environmental issues. FSC Controlled Wood can be mixed with certified wood for production of FSC-certified products, provided it meets respective requirements. FSC CoC and FSC Controlled Wood systems and certification is a tool to show compliance with the EU Timber Regulation.
