The Chain of Custody (CoC) establishes guidelines for the traceability of forest products (wood, paper, cork, bark, resins) during the different phases of the production process and their subsequent commercialisation.
Chain of Custody certification is essential for companies seeking to label their products so that consumers can identify and choose those products that support a responsible forest management model.
Although there are different standards, the main ones are FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) and PEFC (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification).
