Forest Stewardship Council® is a global non-profit organization that preaches responsible and sustainable forest management. Their most important goal is to promote environmental standards in forestry and corporate responsibility awareness. FSC®’s board, with the support of environmental, social and financial stakeholders, and in accordance with the agreed principles of responsible forest management, clearly defines the standards of the certificate.
Companies that have obtained FSC® certification guarantee that the timber they source or use in their products comes from responsibly managed forests. Obtaining the FSC® certificate is important for businesses that use or trade timber and wooden products. More and more companies use their FSC® certificate to promote their environmentally conscious products. The FSC® label is recognizable worldwide.
FSC® is a legally protected trademark.
Using the FSC® logo is only possible after successfully completing the certification process, which includes an audit.
