Forest Stewardship Council Chain of Custody Certificate

Forest Stewardship Council^® (hereinafter – FSC^®) – is an international, non-profit, independent, non-governmental organisation. Currently, FSC is one of the most popular certification programmes for forest and wood industry companies. Certification organisations authorised by FSC provide two types of certification:

Forest management certification, where forest management and use are assessed according to FSC principles and criteria;
Chain of custody certification for industrial and trade companies that process timber or trade in timber products or tree seeds, seedlings, etc.

On 4 May 2010, NEPCon LT, the partner of the FSC accredited company Rainforest Alliance in Lithuania, has successfully certified the chain of custody and production (e.g. pallet elements, wooden blocks) of the timber processing company Juodeliai UAB according to the requirements of the FSC standard (certificate number: SW-COC-004863).

The company was certified based on two standards, including FSC-STD-40-004. More information about the FSC certificate validity period and types of certified products of Juodeliai UAB is available on FSC website.
