All Enviva-owned and partner pellet plants are now certified to the Sustainable Forestry Initiative® (SFI®) fiber sourcing standard, and the Green Gold Label (GGL) program, which is a European-based program that covers chain-of-custody, processing, and green house gas and energy balance accounting. Enviva owned plants also have achieved chain-of-custody certifications to the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), the Programme for Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) Programs and SFI.
