The certification was awarded following a third-party review by Scientific Certification Systems (SCS), an independent organization accredited by the FSC to certify operations to its standards.

The A&M Supply warehouses that earned certification are in Alexandria, VA; Marshall, VA; Knoxville, TN; Charlotte, NC; Atlanta, GA; Jacksonville, FL; Orlando, FL; Pinellas Park, FL and Ft. Meyers, FL.
