Advanced Proteins are delighted to uphold our accreditation as one of the only animal rendering and pet food ingredient suppliers in the United Kingdom to attain and retain the global accreditation for ISCC (International Sustainability Carbon Certification), a standard for certification of sustainable biomass and biofuels.
ISCC focuses on greenhouse gas reduction through the value chain, sustainable land use, protection of natural habitats and social sustainability for the feedstock production. Based on the EU RED Directive ISCC requires minimum GHG emissions savings from 35% to 60% in 2019. Feedstock production also needs to comply with 6 principles. The ISCC audit addresses the following topics:
- Conservation (Biodiversity & Ecosystem Services) and land with high carbon stock
- Soil, water & air and the application of Good Agricultural Practices
- Working conditions
- Human, labour and land use rights. Responsible community relations.
- Legality
- Good management practice
- Greenhouse gas emissions.
- Both the RSB and the ISCC standards comply to the EU RED directive.
