FSC Group Certification Definition:

Group certification allows multiple businesses to share a single FSC® certificate managed by Forest Products Group, making FSC® certification more accessible and cost-effective.

You’re eligible for our FSC® Chain of Custody (CoC) group certification if your business:

Has less than $10 million in gross annual forest product sales, OR
Employs fewer than 25 people

Led by FSC® expert Doug Patterson, we streamline the certification process, helping you navigate FSC® requirements with ease. Join our group and benefit from our decades of experience in sustainable forestry practices.
