What is the Forest Stewardship Council? What does it mean to be FSC certified?
The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) is an independent, non-governmental non-profit organization established to promote the responsible management of the world’s forests. Primarily, the FSC provides an internationally recognized certification and accreditation system that supports responsible forestry. In order to be FSC certified, a forest manager or a timber company must comply with the highest social and environmental standards, and conform to all applicable FSC rules.
