The Rainforest Alliance offers verification services that act as an entry point and complement to more comprehensive responsible forestry standards, such as those of the Forest Stewardship Council. Verification services do not result in certification.

Verification of Legal Origin and Legal Compliance

Third-party verification that establishes the legality of forest products traced to their source.

High Conservation Value Forest (HCVF) Verification

Assesses biological and cultural diversity in forests and evaluates a forest company's conservation practices.

Custom Verification Services

We offer third-party independent verification services that can be tailored to ensure that a company's procurement policies are being followed or projects are implemented as planned. Custom verification standards must meet minimum specifications.
