The Due Diligence Statement can be generated using an online tool provided by FSC (currently under development).

If an authorized representative is mandated to submit the due diligence statement, a copy of the mandate in an official language of the European Union must be provided to the competent authorities and, if possible, a copy in the official language of the member state where the due diligence statement is handled, or in English.

An individual, natural person, or micro enterprise, may mandate the next organization down the supply chain that is not an individual, natural person, or micro enterprise to act as an authorized representative.
