Due to the number of certificates issued by SGS globally and the growth of FSC Chain of Custody in North America a decision was made for SGS SSC NA to obtain its own separate accreditation. Chain of Custody Product Manager, Mario Vieira, remembers “I always knew Chain of Custody would grow fast and I am pleased that we were able to obtain accreditation at our office. Obtaining Chain of Custody accreditation was not easy, but it was very well worth it. With the amount of volume we do, it only makes sense to have the accreditation here in North America.” The SGS SSC NA office holds numerous other accreditations and in addition to FSC, currently holds forestry accreditations to SFI (Sustainable Forestry Initiative) and PEFC (Program for Endorsement of Forestry Certification schemes), Chain of Custody through ANSI (accreditation #0828), and SFI Forest Management through ANAB (certificate # SGS-1097557- # # # The SGS Group is the global leader and innovator in inspection, verification, testing and certification services.
