FSC

FSC is a global not-for-profit organization that sets the standards for responsibly managed forests, both environmentally and socially. When timber leaves an FSC® certified forest they ensure companies along the supply chain meet our best practice standards also, so that when a product bears the FSC logo, you can be sure it’s been made from responsible sources. In this way, FSC certification helps forests remain thriving environments for generations to come, by helping you make ethical and responsible choices at your local supermarket, bookstore, furniture retailer, and beyond.

BRC

Originally developed and published in 1998, the British Retail Consortium (BRC) Global Standards specify safety, quality and operational criteria for food producers and suppliers. Used worldwide, the standards are recognised by the GFSI, which aims to reduce the need for multiple supplier audits by harmonising international food safety standards. BRC standards are accepted by many of the world’s largest retail groups, manufacturers and food service organisations – providing an international mark of excellence for the certificate holder.

BRC Global Standards deliver confidence across the entire supply chain by guaranteeing the standardisation of quality, safety and operational principles. By setting the benchmark for excellent manufacturing practice, they provide assurance to customers that products are safe, legal and of high quality.
