Frequently Asked Questions
What does American Green do different than everyone else?
American Green has one sole goal:
Use state of the art processes, conducted by expert certification specialists, to provide a fast and efficient certification experience to our clients.
We have a completely mobile office, so that you can reach us when you need to.
Our owners have over 15 years of certification experience, and 25 years of experience in the forest industry.

American Green audit materials are designed to help you move efficiently through the certification process. The easier it is for you to prepare for your audit, the more complete your preparation. The more complete your preparation, the easier, and faster, the audit process. Our personalized service saves you money.
What can I expect from working with American Green?
American Green is a small business, run by small businessmen. We understand that you may need certification quickly, and with as little hassle as possible. With that in mind, our goal is to provide you with the fastest, most efficient, state of the art, and expert service of anyone in our field.
Will American Green do all the work, so I can just receive my certificate?
We only wish it could be that easy! The FSC, in order to maintain a strong level of credibility and rigor, specifically prohibits certifiers from acting as consultants to a company. This is one of the main reasons that FSC is considered the platinum standard.
Having said that, we recognize that it would not benefit anyone if you were not prepared. So, American Green has created an entire set of documents that will help guide you through the process. We can make sure you understand your options, by explaining them in clear and concise language, in an easily usable format.
Should you want the comfort of a personal consultant, American Green can provide you with names of independent consultants, all of whom we have worked with in the past, that may be able to assist you further.
