6. Annual Reporting
As a licensee, you are required to report the incoming and outgoing volumes of ISCC-certified material annually. The report must be submitted by 31 March for the previous calendar year.
Update: We have updated the reporting template. For the reporting year 2024, licensees may choose to use either the former or the updated template. Starting with the reporting year 2025, using the updated template will be mandatory. The updated reporting template provides more information and instructions.
You are required to:
- Collect the received ISCC sustainability declarations from your supplier(s)
- Complete the required information via
- The former reporting file (valid only for reporting year 2024; it cannot be used anymore after this period)
- Or the updated reporting template (optional for reporting year 2024 but mandatory from reporting year 2025 onward)
- Submit the file(s) to licence(at)iscc-system.org.
