The four certifications your retail buyer's compliance team will request — FSC, BSCI, ISO 9001, ICS. All current, all independently audited, all available for download.
European supermarkets and international retail chains require FSC, BSCI, ISO 9001, and ICS before a supplier can pass their qualification process. We hold all four — independently audited and renewed annually. Full certificate packs are available on first inquiry, so your supplier approval clears without rework.
Forest Stewardship Council
The FSC certification guarantees that all wood used in our pencil production originates from responsibly managed forests. Our chain of custody certification tracks wood from forest origin through every stage of manufacturing to the finished product. For European retailers operating under the EU Timber Regulation (EUTR), FSC documentation is a core compliance requirement and an essential part of your supplier audit checklist.

Business Social Compliance Initiative
BSCI certification demonstrates that our factory operations meet the social compliance standards required by major European and international retailers. Independent social auditors assess working conditions, fair wages, health and safety, and worker rights. BSCI membership and audit results are shared within the amfori BSCI platform, simplifying the supplier qualification process for buyer procurement teams.

ISO 9001 Quality Management System
ISO 9001 certification confirms that our quality management processes meet the internationally recognised standard for consistent product quality. From incoming raw material inspection to finished goods testing, every production stage is governed by documented procedures and measurable quality objectives. Our defect rate targets and corrective action systems give buyers confidence in product consistency across all orders.

Initiative Clause Sociale
ICS (Initiative Clause Sociale) is the social compliance audit programme developed by French and European retail groups including Carrefour, Casino, and Intermarché. ICS audits assess supplier factories against a unified social responsibility baseline, covering working hours, wage compliance, freedom of association, and child labour prevention. Holding ICS status streamlines our qualification process with French and European retail buyers.
