OCP website is now live

The Online Claims Platform (OCP) website is now live http://ocp-info.fsc.org

A demo version of the OCP is now available for certificate holders willing to test the system. From April 2014 you will be able to register to the Live version and use the OCP. 

Why are we introducing the OCP?
The FSC label is a globally recognised symbol of trust and integrity. When a wood and paper product carries the FSC logo, the customer knows it has come from responsible sources.

Over the last 20 years, FSC has certified more than 28,000 different organisations, from those who grow the trees, to those who sell the final product and everyone in between.

These certificates cover billions of dollars worth of transactions every year. With such a huge volume of transactions to monitor, it makes sense for FSC to introduce a digital system. A system that can confirm the transactions made between FSC customers and suppliers, because those are connections worth protecting.

With thousands of companies, millions of hectares of forests and billions of dollars worth of certified products in the FSC system, it can be easy to forget a simple truth: FSC’s collective success depends on the integrity of the FSC brand. No system is foolproof and the FSC system is no different. We know that there have been cases where alleged FSC products have been found to not be FSC certified, causing financial and reputational problems for the companies selling these products. Besides ensuring the credibility and integrity of the FSC system and thereby also your FSC certificate, the OCP brings other features with it, which are intended to reduce the administrative burden of Chain of Custody certification requirements
