Affordable FSC Certification
Cost-effectively and easily differentiate your print or other manufacturing business with a FSC discount.
VMA now offers affordable FSC certification available to its members under a group certification program.
Earn a Forest Management, Chain of Custody, or Controlled Wood certification.
Certification, which normally can run members upwards of $5,000 per year, is available for $1,695 per year under a group contract. 2024 UPDATE – The maximum shop size to qualify is now $10M in annual sales OR 25 employees or less.
The group certificate carries the same weight as an individually obtained one and the FSC logo may be used by companies with either type of certification.
Why Obtain FSC Certification?
It can provide your company with an important sales advantage. Plus, it’s the right thing to do.
Who Can Participate?
Companies applying for group certification must have annual sales less than $5 million and are VMA members. Companies that are currently under FSC agreements can join, but will have to wait until their current agreements expire.
KEY BENEFITS
Simplified Process
A subset (randomly selected) of the group will receive a full audit, while all other participants will receive an annual “overview” audit, avoiding the cost of a full audit. But all firms will be visited. And, eventually all will receive a full audit.
Fast
Admission to the group generally takes 4-6 weeks from receipt of the enrollment form and check.
