What is ISCC?
ISCC is a leading certification system that focuses on sustainability, carbon footprint reduction, and social responsibility. It is widely recognized for its comprehensive approach to ensuring that products and processes meet stringent environmental and social criteria. ISCC is a globally applicable sustainability certification system that covers all sustainable raw materials, including biomass from agriculture, forestry and aquaculture, biowaste and residues, non-biorenewable materials, circular materials and renewable energy.
