Library
Welcome to SFC’s Library
The SFC Library is your central resource for a wide range of documents essential for understanding and applying our standards and practices. Here, you will find guidance and normative documents, as well as reports, whitepapers, templates, forms, procedures, and other key publications that support sustainable freight management. All of our materials are protected by copyright, and while we allow their use in certain circumstances, we retain full rights over their content.
Most uses of SFC guidance documents do not require specific permission from us, provided acknowledgment of the source is made. This document indicates which use of our guidance documents require written permission from us.
The use of SFC normative (indicated with “specification” in title) documents is more controlled, particularly for Validation and Verification Bodies - VVBs. The rules for their use are described in the same document mentioned above.
