REDcert
Your partner for sustainability certification
Sustainability is no longer a trend — it’s a necessity for the environment, the economy, and society. REDcert is a trusted partner in helping companies implement sustainability requirements and make them measurable.
REDcert's origins lie in the introduction of mandatory sustainability certification for biofuels, bioliquids and biomass fuels as part of the Renewable Energy Directive (RED). Since it was founded in 2010, REDcert has developed other certification schemes in addition to the REDcert-EU scheme for the biofuel sector, making it a reliable partner for sustainability certification in various sectors. Whether in the biofuel sector, the chemical industry or the food and feed sector – REDcert supports you in meeting sustainability requirements.
