1. What is ISCC Standard – International Carbon and Sustainability Certification?

1.1 What is ISCC certification?

ISCC EU is a certification program that complies with the requirements of the European Union Renewable Energy Directive (RED) and the Fuel Quality Directive (FQD). This program aims to ensure that biomass raw materials and biological products are produced and used in a sustainable manner, contributing to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and protecting biodiversity.

1.2 ISCC Certification Programs

1.2.1 ISCC EU

ISCC EU is a certification program that complies with the requirements of the European Union Renewable Energy Directive (RED) and the Fuel Quality Directive (FQD). This program aims to ensure that biomass raw materials and biological products are produced and used in a sustainable manner, contributing to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and protecting biodiversity.

1.2.2 ISCC PLUS

ISCC PLUS expands the scope of sustainability certification beyond EU RED requirements. The program is suitable for industries beyond biofuels, including food, animal feed, industrial bioproducts and recycled products. ISCC PLUS is especially useful for businesses that want to demonstrate a commitment to sustainability globally without being limited by specific EU regulations.

1.2.3 ISCC CORSIA

ISCC CORSIA (Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation) is a sustainability certification program for the international aviation industry, complying with the requirements of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). This program ensures that sustainable aviation fuels are produced and used responsibly, contributing to reducing carbon emissions from the aviation industry.

1.3 ISCC Key Principles

• Protecting Land and Natural Resources: ISCC requires the protection of land with high conservation value and land with high carbon stocks.
• Protecting Biodiversity: ISCC requires protection of areas of high conservation value.
• Protecting Workers’ Rights: Ensuring basic rights of workers in the supply chain.
• Effective Management: Apply management measures to ensure sustainability in production and supply.
