It complements existing FSC standards by specifying additional due diligence, risk assessment procedures using FSC's Risk Assessment Framework, and enhanced supply chain transparency measures. Certificate holders both inside and outside the EU can benefit from adding this module to their certificate if their products are sold on the European market. "SCS is proud to be among the first certification bodies accredited to deliver EUDR services through the FSC framework," said Theodore Brauer, Managing Director, Forestry, SCS Global Services. "This milestone allows us to continue supporting our clients in meeting evolving global market requirements while advancing their sustainability goals." As part of the verification process, SCS will evaluate an organization's conformity with the FSC Regulatory Module, beginning with a desk-based review before extending certification scope. Once the module is included in the certification scope, companies can make new regulatory FSC claims and pass these through their supply chains in accordance with the module's requirements.
