What is FSC?
FSC is an independent, non-governmental, not for profit organization established to promote the responsible management of the world’s forests.
It provides standard setting, trademark assurance and accreditation services for companies and organizations interested in responsible forestry.
The range of FSC products covers paper and lumber, furniture, jewelry, guitars, footballs and cosmetics.
Products carrying the FSC label are independently certified to assure consumers that they come from forests that are managed to meet the social, economic and ecological needs of present and future generations.
Why Buy FSC?
Trying to do the right thing and buying responsibly produced products can be confusing. The FSC label makes it easy to make the right choice when buying timber and paper products as well as other forest products. Here is why choosing FSC makes a difference:
Only FSC
- prohibits conversion of natural forests or other habitat around the world
- prohibits the use of highly hazardous pesticides around the world
- prohibits the cultivation of genetically modified trees (GMOs)
- respects the right of indigenous peoples around the world
- controls each certified operation at least once a year and if they are found not to comply, the certificate is withdrawn
