ISCC - International Sustainability and Carbon Certification
ISCC Works Towards a Sustainable World ISCC’s mission is to protect forests, high-carbon stock lands, and biodiversity, enable waste utilisation, and increase traceability. We believe that sustainable supply chains are crucial to fight the most severe impacts of the climate crisis. Since greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are major contributors to climate change, we also consider the identification and reduction of GHG emissions as an important part of our work. Our vision is a world without deforestation and a truly circular economy in which we stop producing waste in the first place and instead create circular products and regenerate nature. Sustainable agriculture that increases biodiversity and creates healthy ecosystems is part of this vision as well as a resilient economic system which ends the consumption of finite resources.
