What is Chain of Custody certification? fscus.
To earn FSC certification, a product made with pulp or paper must pass through a complete “chain of custody” (CoC) from an FSC–certified forest to an FSC–certified pulp manufacturer to and FSC–certified papermaker, merchant, and printer. In order to identify products with the FSC label, all processes in the CoC must be independently verified and have CoC certification. SmartWood is the certification body for Mohawk, and carries out on–the–ground, detailed assessments of operations and their social, environmental, and economic components.
