Setting Standards
In February 2019, Fima Biodiesel Sdn Bhd’s
production plant has been accredited
under the International Sustainability and
Carbon Certification (“ISCC”), a standard
for certification of sustainable biomass and
biofuels. ISCC certification provides proof
of compliance with environmental, social
and traceability criteria, and qualifies Fima
Biodiesel for legal recognition under the
targets set by the European Renewable
Energy Directive 2009/28/EC (EU RED).
To achieve the ISCC certification, Fima
Biodiesel had to complete a thorough
assessment and audit process, wherein the
company’s operations were extensively
evaluated by an external independent
auditor.
ISCC imposes strict requirements for
feedstock origin, traceability and GHG
emissions. These are being monitored in
the entire supply chain from feedstock
to production and the end-user of the
fuel. Each feedstock supplier is carefully
evaluated, and each batch or truck of
feedstock or fuel holds a specific Proof of
Sustainability (“PoS”). The PoS provides
information about the properties of the
truck content such that it can be traced
back to its origin. Failure to conform to the
ISCC standards may result in withdrawal of
the certification.
