Legality & deforestation certifications
Navigate complex regulations with confidence
Demonstrate legal and sustainable sourcing
Businesses face significant challenges in proving that their products are sourced legally and sustainably, driven by complex regulations such as the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) and increasing market demand for transparency. Sustainability certification for businesses has become essential for maintaining supply chain integrity and securing market access.
Control Union’s certification services provide independent assessment against key standards, offering organisations the certainty that their supply chains and products meet these stringent criteria. We combine deep international experience and standards knowledge with a pragmatic, personal approach, acting as a knowledge centre to guide clients through the complexities of chain of custody certification.
