Chain of Custody (COC)
Certify with us
More than ever, consumers want reassurance that their paper, furniture or floorboards aren’t causing damage to people or the environment.
If you’re making a product using wood or paper, and want to be able to say that the source of your material is traceable and from a sustainable source, you'll need Forest Stewardship Council® or Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification Chain of Custody certification.
We offer single certification to either FSC® or PEFC™ standards or we can carry out competitively priced joint certification to both schemes.
To get certification ...
You’ll need procedures in place, trained staff and records of purchases and sales of certified material.
The effort is worth it though, as Chain of Custody (COC) certification demonstrates your commitment to sustainability, and your customers can be sure your material is from certified forests or other controlled sources.
You’ll be able to label your products using some of the best known logos in the industry, and promote your certified status on letter heads, email footers, website and on sales documents.
Soil Association Certification Forestry are accredited to audit and administer COC certificates on behalf of the FSC® and PEFC™.
As well as seeing you through the process of COC certification, we can also provide timber legality verification and Due Diligence Systems, for compliance with the EU Timber Regulation.
