EU Timber Regulation
Responsible and sustainable forest management has become a vital issue during the past decades. Inadequate and improper forest management practices are threatening the long-term viability of many forests. This reduces their economic potential significantly, resulting in negative social and environmental impacts.

About the certification
Since CUC is formally recognised by the EU as a Monitoring Organization (MO), national competent authorities trust our services to a high level. Certification of your Due Diligence System (DDS) against our Timber Legality Verification (TLV) standard assures compliance with the EU TR requirements. Our Due Diligence System Woodtrack allows you to meet all EUTR requirements step by step. On request, Control Union executes inspections in the country of origin to verify relevant issues. Documents used for proving legality can be checked by Control Union on legality.
Why the certification is important
Public awareness and the demand for certified timber products is growing, and Forest Management Certification gives the necessary reassurance that timber products originating from a forest are managed in a responsible and sustainable way. Forest managers and forest owners who choose to ignore the sustainability issue are becoming very vulnerable. Their over-exploitation leads to a serious depletion of natural resources and increased public criticism. That is why more and more managers and owners are looking to Forest Management Certification.
