Forest Stewardship Council

‍

‍

‍Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) is an international non-profit organization that sets standards for forest management. FSC certification is a mark of assurance that forest products come from well-managed forests. FSC certification is based on a set of principles that promote the sustainable management of forests. These principles include: Conservation of biological diversity, maintenance of ecosystem services, equitable benefits for all stakeholders, legal and regulatory compliance and forest management that is carried out in an economically viable way. FSC certification is a valuable tool for businesses that want to demonstrate their commitment to sustainability. FSC certified products are becoming increasingly popular with consumers, who are looking for products that are made from responsibly managed forests.
