ISCC Logos, Claims & Licensing Training

Objectives

Ocean pollution, plastic pollution, loss of biodiversity and climate change are global problems that receive increasing attention and need to be addressed urgently. Policies such as the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals or the EU’s ‘Strategy for Plastics in a Circular Economy’ show the increasing need for the more responsible handling of materials, products, wastes and residues. Innovative companies react and seek practical solutions that contribute to the development of the circular economy and bioeconomy.

With the use of the ISCC Licensing Scheme, companies at the end of the supply chain can communicate and promote ISCC certified finished goods. The use of effective communication through credible claims and ISCC logos allows for increased transparency and credibility towards end consumers. The International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) Licensing Training will provide an overview of ISCC and its developments, the ISCC PLUS certification scheme, and how to operate the ISCC licensing scheme.

Content

To combat greenwashing, stricter regulations and criteria have been put into place to ensure that green claims and logos are communicated accurately and efficiently. During this training, you will learn how to effectively make green claims and how to use the ISCC logos to promote the transparency of your products and avoid any ties towards greenwashing. 

To operate the ISCC Licensing scheme and to promote the ISCC certified finished goods correctly, an overview of the ISCC PLUS scheme is very important. The training will provide the basics of the scheme including an explanation of the raw material categories, transparency and traceability requirements, and the Chain of Custody options, such as mass balance, physical segregation, and controlled blending.

With a valid license, brand owners who receive certified material from a certified entity and do not fundamentally alter the certified material anymore, are allowed to use the ISCC logos and/or claims (on- and off-product). The training will provide detailed information regarding the implementation of licensing scheme and contract setup, eligible parties, and the differences between licensing and certification.

This training will include presentations and Q&As along with active group work exercises.
