What is ISCC International Sustainability and Carbon Certification?

The term "sustainable development" appears more and more in our lives. So what is its goal? That is to meet all kinds of human needs while protecting resources and the ecological environment. As people pay more and more attention to environmental protection and energy conservation and emission reduction, ISCC certification business has also developed rapidly in China.
