What We Often Hear

  • Member and land records are spread across village registers, phones and spreadsheets.
  • Plot boundaries and GPS points are often incomplete, duplicated or out of place.
  • Internal monitoring, sampling and management reviews can take weeks to prepare each year.
  • Harvest volumes can be hard to reconcile against what mills say they received.

Requirements This Covers

  • PEFC forest management
  • EUDR geolocation and due diligence
  • Mill and buyer sourcing requirements

S360 is the system, not the requirement. Standards, regulations and buyer requirements are inputs; we build one way of working that answers them together.

Where standards or certification are relevant, these systems can also support certification readiness and independent assessment. Contributes to SDG 15, Life on Land.

Questions We Are Asked

  • Does S360 certify my organisation?

    No. S360 is not a certification body. We help you prepare; certification decisions rest with independent certification bodies.

  • Can we use the digital platform on its own?

    Yes. Modules may be used independently, inside an implementation engagement, or connected to the systems you already run.

  • Do you work with what we already have?

    Yes. We start from your current procedures, records and systems, and keep what already works.

A group that can show who grows what, where, and how it reached the mill.
