American Green Consulting stays on top of FSC Chain of Custody regulations—so you don’t have to.
Don’t waste time and money wading through FSC® regulations and application processes.
We specialize in FSC Chain of Custody certifications and controlled wood assistance, and we’re with you every step of the way.
What We Do
We work with businesses across all sectors of the forest product industry: from timber and wood products to print and packaging.
We can help you get FSC-certified—and stay that way.
Group Certification
Make less than $10 million in gross annual forest product sales? You may qualify to join our group certification at half the cost of an individual FSC certification.
Multi-Site Certification
Need to certify a larger company with more than one site? Our FSC® Chain of Custody multi-site certifications may be just what you’re looking for.
Controlled Wood Assistance
Spinning your wheels with national risk assessments and the new CW standard? Let us help you meet FSC Controlled Wood requirements.
How We Do It
Our goal is to make the certification process as easy as possible, while also allowing you the opportunity to learn and grow in the process. On average, certification can take about 10-12 weeks from start to finish.
