    SustainabilityFSC CoC

    FSC CoC (Chain of Custody) Certification verifies that raw materials sourced from forests remain identified and segregated from non-certified and uncontrolled materials throughout the entire supply chain, from their origin to the final product. The certification process involves meticulous tracking of the manufacturing processes to ensure certified materials are distinctly separated from non-certified materials, thus maintaining the integrity and value of FSC certification throughout the entire value chain, ultimately reaching the consumer. FSC CoC Certification applies to individuals or companies involved in the production, processing, and distribution of FSC-certified forest-based materials. It covers a diverse range of products, including timber and various non-timber forest products.

    KFQ is undergoing the official certification body designation process with Accreditation Services International (ASI) and FSC, as an applicant.

    The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), adopted by the United Nations in 2016, set a global agenda for sustainable development to be achieved by 2030.
