Take part in the public consultation on the Chain of Custody Standard

24th October 2018

Bonsucro’s Chain of Custody Standard ensures the traceability of sustainability claims along the supply chain from the farm to the end user. Since its launch in 2011, 38 certificates have been issued to organisations in over 15 countries.

The Standard is currently going through a revision process, with a new version aiming to be published in December 2018. Improving the Standard has the potential to increase the uptake of certified material through simplifying the chain of custody requirements and removing current bottlenecks in the system.

This revision of the ChoC is intended to address;

  • An expansion of the Supply chain model (to include Credit Mass Balance),
  • Clarify the Unit of Certification options (Multi-Site Mass Balance rules)
  • Add overall clarity to the Chain of Custody.
