Participate in a Survey on Cross-Border FSC Credit/Percentage System
Since introducing the FSC credit and percentage system, certificate holders have expressed interest in expanding the application of FSC input volumes within multi-site certificates. This includes the possibility of exchanging FSC input volumes between sites and across borders without physically transferring material. Currently, this practice is limited to sites within the same country or the Eurozone.
In 2021, FSC’s Performance and Standards Unit (PSU) launched a pilot project to assess the impacts of a cross-border credit/percentage system operated by a multi-site certificate holder, allowing for FSC input volumes to be shared across the US/Canadian border. Four companies from the US and Canada participated, and the results showed positive impacts for Certificate Holders (CHs), including better logistics and resource planning, more efficient use of FSC credits, and an expanded range of FSC-certified products in the marketplace.
To gather comprehensive feedback and solidify our decision, we are conducting a survey to understand stakeholders' opinions on implementing a cross-border credit/percentage system between the US and Canada. The survey is only 10 questions and should only take approximately 6 minute to complete.
Participate in the Survey here – deadline September 30, 2024.
We value your insights and experiences, which will help shape the future of FSC certification.
