Participate in public consultation on joint Review Report of generic FSC certification body standard and related procedure

The public consultation is open between 11 July and 14 August 2022 and will be used to collect stakeholder feedback on the joint review report of FSC-STD-20-001 V4-0 General requirements for FSC accredited certification bodies and two related procedures, FSC-PRO-20-003 V1-0 FSC Certificates and License Agreements and FSC-PRO-20-004 V1-2 General Requirements for an FSC Training Programme.

Due to interlinkages, the review report proposes a joint revision, including the consideration of how the documents can be streamlined. The documents in the review report are as follows:
FSC-STD-20-001 V4-0: this standard ensures that FSC accredited certification programs are managed in a competent, consistent, impartial, transparent, rigorous, reliable and credible manner. The standard was developed to ensure conformity with ISEAL requirements and compatibility with DIN EN ISO/IEC 17065:2013-01.

FSC-PRO-20-003 V1-0: this procedure applies a consistent set of process requirements to facilitate the voluntary transfer of certificate holders from one certification body to another.

FSC-PRO-20-004 V1-2: this procedure ensures consistent initial and ongoing qualifications of auditors through implementation of an FSC Training Programme.

U.S. Renewable Energy Production Hits Double Digits for the First Time

U.S. renewable power just hit an important milestone, as the percentage of the nation's power coming from wind and solar just hit double digits for the first time. A new report from the U.S. Energy Information Administration reveals that 10 percent of the nation's power was supplied by wind and solar during the month of March. While 10 percent of the nation's power might not seem like a lot, this is a significant milestone for renewable energy. Meeting this goal proves that wind and solar aren't vanity projects, but are a real and important part of U.S. energy infrastructure. It also demonstrates how far renewable energy has come in the last decade. In 2007, wind and solar generated less than 1 percent of the nation's energy. Just ten years later, renewables are on the verge of outpacing coal and nuclear in the U.S. energy portfolio. Click Read More below for more of the story.
