Decoding FSC CoC Certification in 60 Seconds

The FSC, an international non-profit organization founded in 1993 by environmental groups, indigenous representatives, and forestry enterprises, promotes sustainable development through standardized forest management and product circulation. It aims to prevent illegal logging and ecological degradation, achieving the goal of "harvesting trees without destroying forests."

The CoC certification stands as the cornerstone of FSC, primarily tasked with tracking every stage of wood's journey from forest to finished product. The FSC CoC certification is akin to issuing a "full life cycle ID card" for forest products.

Raw materials sourced from certified sustainable forests

Strict segregation from non-certified materials throughout the production process.

Every batch of products traceable to its origin.

Recognized in over 100 countries worldwide, it serves as a "green passport" for international trade.

Green Transformation as Internal Drive to Surpass Market's Stringent Benchmarks

Containers are constructed with bamboo and wood composite flooring, designed to withstand the weight of tens of thousands of tons of cargo. While meeting the requirements for compression resistance, wear resistance, and corrosion prevention, Shanghai Universal has consistently placed a premium on the eco-friendliness of raw materials. Committed to building a green, compliant, and responsible supply chain system, every container produced carries a green mission.

Containers utilizing FSC-certified wood may bear the FSC label or include a certification statement on the container itself. This means that every timber component in COSCO SHIPPING Containers' products originates from legally and sustainably managed forests, with traceable sources, trackable destinations, and verifiable processes throughout. It helps customers meet higher compliance standards for the legal sourcing of wood in international trade, reduces supply chain compliance risks, and further bolsters their green competitive edge in the global market.

Looking ahead, COSCO SHIPPING Development will persist in deepening its green container manufacturing endeavors, integrating sustainability into the entire product lifecycle. The company aspires to create greener products with lower carbon emissions, heightened compliance, and international recognition, thereby expediting the construction of a comprehensive green supply chain .spanning shipping, ports, and logistics. This initiative will convey China's sustainable commitment to intelligent manufacturing on the global stage.

Recently, Shanghai Universal, a subsidiary of COSCO SHIPPING Development, officially obtained the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) Chain of Custody (CoC) certification. This milestone signifies that the wood-based materials, such as wooden flooring used in Shanghai Universal's container products, can now be fully integrated into the FSC compliance management system from procurement to final delivery, adding another "green credential" to its sustainable supply chain system.
