Verifying Responsible and Sustainable Forestry Practices
Consumers and regulators are increasingly demanding that wood and paper products come from forests that are managed responsibly. Independent certification provides assurance that environmental, social, and economic standards are followed.
BQCIS provides accredited certification for FSC® and PEFC™ standards, assessing forest operations for biodiversity protection, sustainable harvesting, worker safety, and community rights.
Our Chain of Custody (CoC) certification ensures that certified wood material is properly tracked through the supply chain, safeguarding the integrity of eco-labeled products.
