About me
Ulrich K. Müller
Graduate forester (Diplom-Forstwirt, University of Freiburg) and Master of Science in Tropical Forestry (Wageningen). For more than 25 years I have worked as a consultant, auditor and project manager for sustainable supply chains – for companies, authorities and NGOs in Europe, South America and Asia.
For many years I represented international certification organisations in the German-speaking countries and led FSC®, PEFC and Rainforest Alliance audits. Today my focus is on consulting: I know what matters in an audit – and how to meet it with reasonable effort.
