A structured, audit-ready approach to RSB certification designed to clarify requirements, reduce risk, and support timely certification across regulated and global markets.

Preparation

Review the procedures relevant to your operation, complete a self-evaluation and RSB screening tool exercise, calculate your GHG emissions with RSB GHG calculator tool and prepare your chain of custody.

Audit

Conduct independent audits and certification activities in line with RSB requirements, including desk-based preparation, on-site evaluation, corrective action review, and formal certification decision-making.

Surveillance
