Your FSC® & PEFC® Chain of Custody Solution
for Smarter, Audit-Ready Certification
Why FSC® and PEFC® Certification Matters

Put clear controls around how certified material is purchased, identified, handled and sold throughout your business.
Build Credibility & Market Access
Give customers a recognised, independently audited way to verify your responsible sourcing commitments.

Extend Your Certification for EUDR Readiness
Your FSC® or PEFC® certification can do more than support Chain of Custody.
For businesses affected by the EU Deforestation Regulation, existing certification processes can provide a strong foundation for the additional governance, traceability and due diligence controls required.
Hikari's EUDR Governance Modules are designed to build on your existing FSC® or PEFC® Chain of Custody Solution, helping you strengthen your framework without creating an entirely separate compliance system.
