Message from the Founder Mr. Jānis Švirksts

This year has been one of the most eventful in my life. Firstly, last week I became a father again - to a wonderful little girl named Liesma (which translates as Flame in English). 

Secondly, I established a new certification body - STEP UP Certification - with the goal of offering market-demanded and competitive certification services.

I am proud to announce that STEP UP Certification has just received accreditation in accordance with management system standard ISO 17021 and product certification standard ISO 17065, focusing on PEFC Forest Management, Chain of custody, and Contractor Certification. 

I want to take this opportunity to thank the Network of auditors that made this vision a reality. I will introduce the STEP UP team to you very soon. 

In line with market demand, we will soon expand the range of services offered. 

I invite you all to follow STEP UP Certification’s page and join us on our journey to expand horizons.
