Founded in 1993 as a response to concerns about global deforestation, the FSC® is a pioneering forum bringing together voices from the northern and southern hemispheres to define environmentally sound, socially beneficial and economically viable forest management and identify tools and resources that promote positive and lasting change in the forests and peoples who inhabit it.
Through its certification system, the FSC® seal recognizes the responsible production of forest products, enabling consumers and businesses to make conscious buying decisions, benefiting people and the environment, as well as adding value to the business.
