The ISCC Association (ISCC e.V.)
is the legally registered body responsible for governing ISCC, for guiding the strategic decisions taken by ISCC and for unifying and representing ISCC’s stakeholders. Natural or legal persons may become members of the ISCC Association if they share the same goal and mission as ISCC. Members can participate in the organisation and have a voting right.
The General Assembly

The ISCC Board
represents three different stakeholder groups participating in ISCC:

The ISCC Board is made up of two representatives of each stakeholder group ensuring equal representation of interests. The ISCC Board may initiate and establish Stakeholder Committees to support ISCC in the handling of specific topics and to facilitate the regional and technical stakeholder dialogue.
The ISCC System GmbH
is where the day-to-day operations, management and development of the ISCC system are assigned to.
