Join the 4C System
For Retailers
Become a 4C Licensee as Retailer or Brand
Retailers and brands are the final link between sustainable production and consumers. By becoming a 4C Licensee, you ensure that the products you sell carry credible sustainability claims, backed by a rigorous and independent certification system.
Why Become a 4C Licensee?
Credible Sustainability Claims
As an ISEAL Code Compliant member, 4C provides the independent verification needed to give your claims credibility and build consumer trust.
Regulatory Readiness
Meet growing legal requirements and customer expectations on sustainability. 4C supports compliance with regulations such as the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) and Human Rights Due Diligence (HRDD).
Brand and Consumer Trust
Show your customers that you take sustainability seriously by offering traceable, responsibly sourced products.
Access to Traceability Portal
Licensees gain access to the 4C Portal, ensuring supply chains are transparent and compliant.
Support for Innovation and Impact
Leverage 4C solutions and add-ons (e.g. carbon footprint reduction, gender equality, biodiversity) to communicate measurable sustainability impacts to consumers.
