Certified SYSTECODE* EXCELLENCE, Bourrassé has taken its commitment to the highest level, above and beyond the requirements of the International Code of Cork Stopper Manufacturing Practices (ICCSMP).
FOREST STEWARDSHIP COUNCIL® (FSC®)**
Bourrassé is naturally ethical and constantly seeks to ramp up its commitments. The Bourrassé group has two sites included in the FSC certification scope – namely Socori as the Central Office located in Rio Meão, Portugal and Tosse France – APCER-COC-151187 – which allows it to supply 100% FSC and FSC Mix-Credit*** products. Through the certification, it supports responsible forestry management.

Since 2024, the Bourrassé Group – Tosse site, has been committed to its CSR performance with ECOVADIS (a facilitator in the responsible management of upstream and downstream partners). In 2025, Bourrassé was awarded the silver medal, strengthening its commitment to this approach.
