Licensing Scheme

Our licensing scheme is a tailor-made solution for brand owners. It allows companies at the end of the supply chain – who receive certified material from a certified entity and do not fundamentally alter it anymore – to communicate and promote ISCC-certified finished goods by using our logos and/or claims (on- and off-product).

Benefits of Becoming ISCC Licensed

Boost Brand Value

Your company is dedicated to sourcing certified materials? Share your story and use the ISCC licensing scheme to communicate this commitment to your customers transparently and credibly.

Verified Claims

Demonstrate your commitment to the circular economy and bioeconomy by using third-party verified claims. Finished goods for end consumers can also bear the ISCC on-product logos.

Easy Accessibility

The licensing scheme offers the benefit of no mandatory annual audit by a Certification Body while ensuring reliability through random integrity audits conducted by ISCC.

Addition to Certification

We encourage certified brand owners also to become licensed to manage their use of ISCC logos and claims more credibly and transparently. This also includes the valuable option of having finished goods listed in our licence database for greater visibility.

Any new or revised artwork featuring the ISCC on-product logo or claim must be approved by ISCC. Similarly, off-product communications by licensees also need ISCC approval.
