FSC® – Forest Stewardship Council®
Forest management certification gives the public peace of mind that forest products are managed responsibly and sustainably, something that is becoming increasingly important.

About the standard
Responsible and sustainable forest management has become a vital issue in the last decade.
Inadequate forest management practices are threatening the long-term viability of many forests and this significantly reduces their economic potential, resulting in negative social and environmental impacts.
Public awareness and demand for certified forest products is growing, and Forest Stewardship Certification provides the necessary reassurance that sustainable products are managed responsibly and sustainably.
The FSC COC chain of custody certification ensures the continuity of forest management certification and that sustainable raw materials are maintained throughout the supply chain.
Requirements
For forest management certification, the forest manager must meet the requirements of the forest management standard of the country of production.
Manufacturers and suppliers who want to guarantee that their wood products come from a certified forest, and who want to pass this guarantee on to the end user, need to prove the origin of this wood. This is achieved through Chain of Custody (CoC) certification.
