Baltic Control®​ Certification participates in international dialogue on sustainable certification

In late November, a representative of Baltic Control®​ Certification, part of Baltic Control®, took part in two major events organised by ISCC in Cologne, Germany:

• the Certification Bodies Meeting on 25 November 2025,

• the Regional Stakeholder Meeting – Europe on 26 November 2025.

Both events gathered certification bodies, industry stakeholders, associations, and experts involved in building transparent, credible, and sustainable supply chains for biomass, waste-based materials, renewable feedstocks, and circular products. ISCC, as a multi-stakeholder initiative, plays a key role in ensuring the integrity and traceability of sustainability claims across global value chains.

ISCC Certification Bodies Meeting – exchanging experience and best practices

On 25 November, the ISCC Certification Bodies Meeting provided a platform for two-way dialogue between ISCC and certification bodies. Discussions focused on:

• sharing audit experiences and operational challenges,

• identifying practical obstacles within certified supply chains,

• exchanging best practices for risk assessment, oversight, and conformity evaluation,

• providing feedback to help further harmonise and improve ISCC system requirements.

Participation in this meeting allows BC Certification to stay aligned with current system developments and contribute directly to shaping how sustainability standards are interpreted and implemented worldwide.

Regional Stakeholder Meeting – Europe: shaping the future of certification

The following day, 26 November, the Regional Stakeholder Meeting – Europe brought together a broad group of stakeholders to discuss key certification topics within the European regulatory landscape. The agenda included:

• the role of coordinated supervision in supporting EU sustainability objectives,

• measures aimed at strengthening system integrity and preventing fraud,

• the introduction of the new Risk Management Tool,

• how TYC Connect enhances efficiency and simplifies work with the Union Database (UDB).

The meeting addressed challenges related to transparency, data reliability, and compliance with evolving EU regulations governing sustainable materials and circularity.

What does this mean for our clients?

Participation in ISCC events provides Baltic Control® Certification and Baltic Control® with several key advantages:
