The RSB is a European Commission approved system for the sustainability certification of biomaterials including biofuels. Based on 12 key principles, RSB provides a holistic approach towards sustainability assurance, covering social, environmental, economic and operational aspects in its analysis.
Recent reports by the World Wide Fund (WWF) and Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) ranked RSB as the best performing system out of the various schemes included in the analysis. And according to the International Union for the Conservation of Nature, the RSB standard has been identified to cover "more sustainability criteria, with greater detail, and with more breath in terms of level of assurance than any of the other Voluntary sustainability schemes."
