Appeals Committee
An Appeals Committee is an internal quality control body that objectively supervises the decision-making process carried out within FLOCERT. Thus, it is responsible for guaranteeing a consistent interpretation of the Standards and for ensuring that operations are carried out with due diligence. As a company-internal body, its role is neither that of an external and/or official arbitration body nor a court-like institution.
