REDcert – Your partner for sustainability certifications

REDcert offers certification schemes for sustainable biomass, biofuels and bioliquids (REDcert-EU) as well as sustainable agricultural raw materials for use in the food/feed industry and biomass for material purposes respectively material purposes in the chemical industry (REDcert²). REDcert's philosophy is to support the scheme participants in the implementation of sustainability certification and offer practically oriented schemes.

Do you have different raw materials but only want a single sustainability certification scheme? REDcert has various solutions requiring only one audit which allows you to supply your raw materials to all markets.

The REDcert schemes are applicable to all economic operators in the respective value chain. REDcert’s activities related to the implementation of sustainability requirements mainly focus on Germany and Europe.

You can find information about the tasks and goals of REDcert, the scheme requirements, inspection system, training dates and much more on our website.

Bernhard Krüsken

Secretary General of the German Farmers' Association (Deutscher Bauernverband e.V.)

“The industry-driven REDcert scheme has succeeded in enabling farmers to provide the legally required proof of sustainability for their crops in the field of bioenergy in a practical way with little red tape. REDcert also offers solutions for the verification of sustainability requirements in the food chain, thus facilitating market access for our farmers.”
Horst Seide

President of the German Biogas Association

“REDcert is already a reliable partner for the certification of sustainable biomethane in the fuel sector. Starting in 2021, biogas facilities that generate electricity and heat must also be certified. The biogas industry is striving to meet this challenge by working with REDcert to develop a way to practically implement the EU requirements.”
Lieven Flamée

QSE Director of Beaulieu International Group, BU Engineered Products

“As leading manufacturer of yarns for contract, automotive and residential carpet applications, we really welcome the right and clear visibility the REDcert platform is offering on our biomass balanced yarns towards our industry partners. We are committed to grow in sustainability, and therefor value this certification as ground-breaking for any product derived from biomass. Beaulieu International Group was the first yarns producer getting a certificate for its EqoBalance, according to the new standard REDcert² for the chemical industry. The chemical industry is increasingly relying on the use of sustainably produced and certified biomass to replace fossil-based raw materials.”
Dr. Christian Krüger

Corporate Sustainability

"At BASF, we combine economic success with environmental protection and social responsibility. The various REDcert certifications offer us as a globally operating chemical company the opportunity to boost the credibility of our mass-balanced products for our customers and stakeholders. The REDcert standards are applicable to all of our sites. BASF was the first company in the world to have a product successfully audited for compliance with the new REDcert2 standard for the chemical industry in 2018 and all biomass-balanced products are now certified under this standard. These products are used today in many different industrial sectors (e.g. packaging, automotive, construction). In addition, we also use the REDcert EU scheme for biomass-balanced products intended for the biofuel sector."
