Chain of Custody Certification: Forest, Paper and Packaging Industry

Securing your supply chain

Without an effective tracking system, forest-product companies will face difficulty demonstrating their dedication to operate in a "green" and sustainable manner to environmentally conscious customers and stakeholders. Unfortunately, most companies do not utilize processes that effectively track and record each stage of wood fibre processing — from the forest to the end user — including harvesting, transportation, manufacturing and distribution.

A certified chain of custody (CoC) process demonstrates that organizations have appropriate systems and controls to help ensure that only responsibly sourced wood and paper products enter their supply chain. Read the brochure below to learn how PwC can assist your business with embedding a CoC process that documents the origin of your forest-based raw materials and tracks them throughout the supply chain.
