Forest Stewardship Council®
Forests for everyone, forever
Because so many things in our lives come from the forest, we are committed to keeping our forests alive for future generations.
Who or what is the FSC®?
The FSC® was founded by environmental associations in 1993 as a non-profit organisation.
The Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®) is a global, non-profit organisation with the purpose of promoting responsible forest management worldwide. The FSC defines standards for responsible forest management based on established principles, which are developed and supported by stakeholders from the fields of the environment, social issues, and the economy.

What are the goals of the FSC®?
The aim of the FSC is to help improve forest management worldwide. The FSC sees itself as a platform where representatives with different interests in forests can come together and reach a consensus on responsible forest management.
The most important instrument for marketing corresponding products is the labelling of the products with the FSC label.
How do products become FSC®-certified?
FSC standards determine the minimum ecological and social standards that must be met when managing forests. Compliance with these standards by every forest owner is checked on site annually by independent auditors (certifiers). Owner can only label wood with the FSC label and market it accordingly after passing the inspection.
As part of the further processing, additional inspections ensure that FSC wood is not mixed and labelled with non-certified wood without permission. The FSC thus provides a trademark that consumers can use to identify responsible and verified forest management.
