The new Chain of Custody regulations affect many industries in many different ways. If you are seeking compliance with any of the Chain of Custody regulations, you have come to the right web site. EQM Ltd has many years experience assisting companies like you to achieve compliance to many different management standards and regulations. The management systems that we help clients' to develop, and in many cases, develop for them, are always compliant with the stated requirements and also incorporate best practices, specific client requirements and all regulatory and legal matters. In short, a system to enable you to manage your company in complete compliance and complete peace of mind.

Compliance doesn't have to be a strain. Once implemented, compliant management systems enable the senior management to run the company more effectively with less waste and increased productivity, to make more well informed decisions and to meet change and future requirements with calm and forward planning.

We refer to ourselves as Consultants only for want of a title. In reality, we are the additional highly trained and dedicated resource that you wish you could have on your payroll permanently. We don't "consult" with you, leaving you with a list of things to do before our next visit. We brainstorm with the process owners and the actual do-ers within your company to capture knowledge, analyze this information for compliance, and develop an action plan. Then, with the approval of senior management, we produce any additional documentation, amend existing documentation and introduce the changes necessary to achieve world-class performance in your organization.

Forestry Stewardship Council - PEFC
