New REDII/III documents -
for assessment as of 2025
The GGL Foundation is actively pursuing the recognition of its certification scheme under the EU RED II and RED III regulations since January 2022.
The latest version of its newly developed GGL RED Module will align with GGL’s Standards and integrate the following regulations:
Scope of the GGL RED Module will extend across all types of solid biomass and include solutions for EUDR and other relevant European regulations at the same time.
For this purpose, the latest adjusted scheme documents have been submitted for assessment in 2025 by the European Commission, to which the GGL Foundation expects to receive a response shortly.

Stakeholder consultation – new GGL
scheme and FIT/FIP updates
In October-2025 the GGL Foundation launched the new version of its GGL Documentation. All existing documents have been converted to GGL’s new document management and versioning styles. Next to these conversions, most GGL Standards have been strengthened – both in sustainabilityrequirements, and in consistency amongst each other.
After publication early-November, GGL aims completes its stakeholder consultation by end-December 2025. During that period all stakeholders are invited to request their feedback-form from info@greengoldlabel.com and share their views by submitting the completed forms. By January-2026 the new document versions will then be ADOPTED and fully replace the outgoing versions at a later moment.
