Standards
RED-cert - due diligence and supply chain traceability
We prepare your company for RED-cert requirements: set up due diligence, mass balance, sustainability data control, and chain-wide evidence quality.
RED-cert preparation for bioenergy chain companies
The standard delivers the most value to companies that need to confirm raw material sustainability, supply chain transparency, and compliance with market requirements.
Biomass traders
When the supply chain has multiple levels, RED-cert structures supplier verification and reduces the risk of critical nonconformities in daily operations.
Biomass processors
For processors, the standard sets transparent requirements for mass balance, traceability, and documentary proof of sustainability in daily operations.
Biofuel producers
RED-cert helps manage raw material source risks, improves system evidence quality, and stabilizes market access in daily operations.
Export suppliers
The system confirms controlled processes, team accountability, and document quality, simplifying external audits in daily operations.
RED-cert implementation in the biomass supply chain
RED-cert is especially useful for bioenergy chain companies that need sustainability, traceability, and mass-balance control.

RED-cert requirements in plain language
Supplier verification, mass balance, sustainability data control, and documentation flow create an evidence-based system for RED-cert certification preparation.
Supplier due diligence
Systematic verification of suppliers and raw material source risks increases chain reliability and market trust.
Mass balance
Controlled accounting of flows and stock ensures transparency of batch movement and compliance with standard requirements.
Sustainability data control
Verification of data completeness and accuracy reduces the risk of discrepancies and supply delays.
Documentation and traceability
Systematic documentation flow supports quick sustainability confirmation and readiness for external audits.
RED-cert audit: what is included in preparation
A practical due diligence implementation plan: from chain scope and risks to internal checks and certification readiness.
Need an individual implementation plan?
Chain scope and roles
We define RED-cert scope: participants, sites, raw material flows, and sustainability responsibilities.
Supplier verification
We set due diligence procedures, acceptance criteria, and regular risk monitoring for counterparties.
Mass balance
We build a batch, flow, and stock accounting system for transparent product movement traceability.
Documents and records
We form a document and record package that proves RED-cert compliance in daily work.
Internal check
We conduct an internal audit, record gaps, and launch corrective actions before certification assessment.
Audit readiness
We build the evidence package for RED-cert certification audit and prepare the team for inspection.

RED-cert implementation services: why companies choose Ekontrol
We turn sustainability requirements into controlled results: a transparent supply chain, fewer risks, and predictable audit readiness.
Without systematic support
- Source risks are assessed fragmentarily. Supplier due diligence does not provide a stable, complete risk picture for the business.
- Mass balance is maintained unevenly. Accounting discrepancies complicate audits and create additional reputational risks.
- Audit preparation becomes emergency mode. The team spends resources collecting documents at the last moment instead of improving processes systematically.
With us toward results
- Diagnostics and clear priorities. We show which gaps are critical for passing audit and maintaining stable deliveries.
- Working controls and documents. We set the system so due diligence works daily in real processes.
- Support through certification. We prepare the team, run a pre-audit, and support the final audit stage.
RED-cert implementation stages from diagnostics to audit
We work in short stages focused on practical outcomes and audit readiness without last-minute rush.
Fast start with diagnostics
Within 3-5 days we identify gaps, risks, and priorities to launch implementation immediately.
Implementation in working processes
We set up due diligence, mass balance, and documents for real operational activity of the team.
Pre-audit and certification support
We prepare the evidence package, train personnel, and support the audit until confident completion.
Request RED-cert preparation
We will run diagnostics, create a roadmap, and support your team to confidently pass certification audit.
