As E-learning platform features low cost, high efficiency, sustainability, and convenience, increasing suppliers and sub-suppliers are making use of it for self-improvement transferring from one-fold and repeated audit to sustainable one.

WeChat Communication Program

WeChat is one of the most commonly used social media APP, based on which the communication platform can be easily accepted and get used to by factory workers. We assist clients to set up their own WeChat Official Account, which can be used as the platform/channel for enterprise information posting and worker communication. Meanwhile, WeChat can also be used for convenient and batch worker survey with accurate data analysis. The questions for worker survey can be customized, such as for worker satisfaction survey.

Sub-tier Supplier Social Solutions

By now, clients are intending to control CSR performance of sub-suppliers. Sub-suppliers, outnumbering first-tier suppliers, do not perform well in CSR compliance and have weak understanding on CSR standard, so one-fold and repeated on-site audit is costly and unable to improve suppliers' CSR performance effectively.

As a package solution provider for controlling sub-suppliers, ESTS monitors sub-suppliers' performance in flexible assessments, which makes cost economical and even raise suppliers' cognitive level and improve CSR performance.

As an enterprise putting the idea of customer service and innovation as the priority, ESTS is always happy to provide customized audit and certification services based on client's needs.

FSC COC CERTIFICATION PROCESS

FSC COC Certification is designed for company processing or selling forest products: certification of single businesses or facilities, or of multiple sites under multi-site or group certification (this could be for large companies that operate multiple sites, or smaller enterprises that choose to group together to achieve collective certification).

When ESTS issues an FSC COC certificate to a company, it provides credible guarantee that all chain of custody operations within the scope of a certificate conform to all applicable requirements of the relevant FSC normative documents at the time of ESTS evaluation. In order to provide such a guarantee, ESTS shall:

  1. analyse and describe the chain of custody operation and/or group or multisite certificate to be evaluated in terms of one or more operational sites;
  2. confirm that there is a control system in place capable of ensuring that all the applicable requirements are implemented by every operational site, including non-certified suppliers as part of controlled wood and reclaimed material verification programs and contractors as part of outsourcing agreements, within the scope of the evaluation;
  3. where applicable, carry out sampling of operational sites, non-certified suppliers, contractors, documents, management records, and interviews with personnel sufficient to verify that the control system is being implemented effectively and consistently across the whole scope of the certificate;
  4. confirm that any nonconformity is adequately addressed by the company within the established timelines.

The CERT-2018-023-V02 - Annex II. Description of FSC CoC Certification Process presents ESTS procedures concerning FSC Chain of Custody certification. These procedures are developed according to FSC certification requirements.
