Environmental management
Establish and maintain an environmental management system that covers emissions, waste, water use, and biodiversity protection across your operations.
SURE Certification
Implement SURE certification with structured sustainability controls
The Sustainable Resources Verification Scheme (SURE) certifies sustainability of biomass for energy under the EU Renewable Energy Directive. Crosscheck helps teams structure environmental management, risk assessment, and traceability documentation for SURE compliance.
What SURE covers
SURE is an EU-recognized voluntary scheme that verifies sustainability and GHG savings for solid and gaseous biomass fuels, bioliquids, and biogas used for electricity, heating, and cooling.
- Environmental management systems and policies
- GHG emission savings calculations and reporting
- Supply chain traceability for biomass feedstocks
- Risk assessment and mitigation for sustainability
- Stakeholder engagement and transparency
- Continuous improvement of sustainability performance
Key requirement areas
SURE audits evaluate compliance across environmental, social, and governance dimensions. Each area requires structured evidence and documented processes.
GHG savings
Calculate and demonstrate greenhouse gas savings according to RED methodology, covering the full life cycle from feedstock to energy conversion.
Supply chain traceability
Maintain unbroken traceability from biomass origin to end use, including documentation of all custody transfer points and processing steps.
Risk assessment
Conduct systematic sustainability risk assessments covering environmental, social, and governance risks across your operations and supply chain.
Stakeholder engagement
Implement structured processes for engaging with relevant stakeholders including local communities, workers, and supply chain partners on sustainability matters.
Continuous improvement
Establish measurable sustainability targets with tracking mechanisms and a formal PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) cycle for ongoing improvement.
How Crosscheck supports SURE implementation
Structure environmental management evidence
Organize EMS documentation, risk assessments, and stakeholder engagement records into an audit-ready workspace aligned with SURE requirements.
Track compliance across the supply chain
Monitor supplier sustainability credentials, traceability records, and GHG calculations across all partners in your biomass supply chain.
Maintain continuous audit readiness
Run periodic self-assessments, track improvement targets, and keep documentation current for surveillance and recertification audits.
Built for SURE compliance teams
Crosscheck is not a certification body. We help compliance and operations teams implement SURE requirements correctly and maintain structured, audit-ready documentation over time.
